AroundMe allows you to easily and quickly find important businesses and services in your surrounding or any other location with your Nokia phone.
For example, you can find restaurants, banks, gas stations, and other local services with ease. View maps, directions, routes, street view, read reviews or call the business if contacts are available.

From a posting on Mobile Monday Kenya, this is what the trend looks like:

AroundMe allows you to easily and quickly find important businesses and services in your surrounding or any other location with your Nokia phone. For example, you can find restaurants, banks, gas stations, and other local services with ease. Users are able to view maps, directions, routes, street view, read reviews or call the business if contacts are available. Very cool.  James revealed to me on a phone chat that the interest on the app around the world is just phenomenon.  In the last three weeks the app has been downloaded more than 17,000 times.

He listed to me the top ten countries leading in downloading the app as follows

#1 India

#2 Italy

#3 Germany

#4 Thailand

#5 Turkey

#6 United Kingdom

#7 Brazil

#8 Spain

#9 Russian Federation

#10 Australia

Yeah, the app was done with Kenya in mind but as you can see, Kenya is not even in the picture.

Currently it runs on Symbian^3 and S60 devices. More devices are in the road map including s40 which will give more people access to the app.  Good stuff

The Federation of African Associations of Medical Laboratory Scientists is a non profit organization made up of membership of African countries’ national associations of medical laboratory scientists and individual biomedical scientists / laboratory consultants practicing in Africa.

 

It was inaugurated in Yaounde, Cameroon in March 2005 with the objective of encouraging high professional training and practice standards in medical laboratory services and research. FAAMLS mission is to turn around the present decrepit standard of medical laboratory services across the continent in collaboration with governmental and non governmental organizations.

 

It planned a maiden conference this spring but has to postpone. This is a copy of the email we received from the on the postponement.

 

Due to  some logistic problems, the Organizing Committee deemed it fit to choose 6th to 8th October 2011 as the new date for the 2011 FAAMLS Maiden Conference.

 

The Organizing Committee sincerely apologizes for the inconveniences this postponement might have caused .

 

With best regards
