I’d been holding off on adding a lot of features after seeing the changes from the M3 to M5 Android SDK, but I’ve decided now’s the time to crank and flesh out this Android app so it’s more than just a proof-of-concept.

So I upgraded the Metosphere app to M5, which was trickier than I expected. While I was making changes, I also incorporated Wikipedia points of interest through the cool GeoNames Web Service.

The idea is that you’ve got your GPS-enabled Android phone and using Metosphere you can see what Wikipedia pages are near your location.

You can download the newest version here.

I also modified the demo web mashup to display the concept of nearby Wikipedia points.

Damn, it’s late! I’ve got to get up early for Mashup Camp.
