Last week the UW released a version of its mobile application, m.UW, for the Blackberry smartphone platform. m.UW has been available on the iPhone since Sept. The application was introduced at Educause, a major conference focusing on information technology in education, to a fair bit of fanfare. Because the UW is the first university to release a mobile application on the Blackberry platform, the release has garnered attention from local media, including KOMO news and the Seattle PI.

Blackberry users can download the m.UW for their devices at the UW’s mobile website.

The University’s iPhone application, m.UW, has been downloaded and used many hundreds of students. But what about those on campus without Apple’s high-tech phone or its cousin, the iPod Touch?

A version of m.UW is being developed now for another popular smartphone platform, RIM’s Blackberry. (Specific information regarding its release will be posted when available.) More importantly, the content in m.UW can be accessed by any mobile device simply by viewing this web address: m.uw.edu from a mobile web browser.

m.UW, the iPhone app created for the University community and named by student Shane Bunker, officially launched yesterday. It is available for free download at the iTunes store.

You can learn more about m.UW at the University’s mobile website, including a preview of its features if you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch.

In late July, a post appeared on this blog about the contest to name the upcoming UW iPhone application. Well, the choice has been made and the winning entry—provided by Shane Bunker, a senior in Informatics—is m.UW. Congratulations to Shane, and look for further updates when m.UW becomes available.
