Oh yes, please stay tune with M-Travelogue updates.

To keep the development rolling and maintain the excitement up amongst the members of the development team..We are glad to inform that we had a fruitful meeting with the KL Rapid Exec’s in their HQ today.

We have been granted permission as a rolling contract for a year beginning today i.e 14th Dec,2007 to use their information and the company logo in our application.

(However we are left with a bit of paper work, should be done this Wednesday i.e 19th Dec,2007).

This means so much for us..because we can now fire out from all cylinders…we gonna have the application as interactive and as promisingly informative as possible.

More to come next week….cheers.

We have been granted permission from KL Monorail Sdn Bhd to use related info’s regarding their services, KL Monorail inside the application of M-Travelogue. With their help , we can put their info such as fares, info about KL Monorail itself, and their services.

( picture source : wikipedia )

KL Monorail is a monorail traveling along 8.6km route from Titwangsa station to the KL Sentral station. It takes approximately 19 minutes to complete the journey from end to the end. Along the route is an interesting places to visit. for more information about KL Monorail, visit their website here.

Now waiting for RapidKL for updates:)

today marks the third week of the application’s milestone. and here’s the video preview of the application. We are testing our frame work and memory optimization for now, the graphics and the contents would be changed over a period of time. We are not even close to beta testing yet. More to come. keep logging on.

The testing device is Nokia N93 and the video taken with Sony PlayStation Portable.

well for the whole september-october, we didnt have anything to report in as nirpad going for a break in his country.

( the picture is from corbis )
But last 2 weeks he return to malaysia and we’ve discussed all about M-travelogue. the timeline, the progress, and all related discussion from A-Z. Two of the Railways system, RapidKL and Monorail already reply to our emails. So right now we’re waiting for the follow ups.

We’ve finished data mining and categorizing for the places inside Kuala Lumpur. This saturday me and nirpad will be a tourist going here and there to take some pictures for the application. Own picture means we will hold the ownership and no need to buy for the stock photos from other people. Since this is a free application, better we take it ourselves to reduce the cost and money.

And sabau already made some intro screens of the application. Next week will update the running mainframework of the application.. heads up ya

This application is called “m-travelogue” and is primarily targeted at tourist visiting Malaysia.

The application would be developed to facilitate or work as a value added services towards the tourism sector in providing comprehensive information to the tourist with the “onClick mobility” wherever they travel within Malaysia.

Assalamualaikum and Peace be Upon You dear readers/visitors. Welcome to our development blog, Eyes of M-Travelogue, one of the Mobile Interactive Content winner ( Independent ) in MDEC IP Creators Challenge 2007.
