PhoneGap Geo Demo App in Ripple

Posted on January 24, 2011 by cdelcol01

We finally have our first of many demo videos! For this first introduction demo we elected to show the PhoneGap training application showing off how we manage Geo Location enabled mobile applications. Rather then talk about it here, I’ll just let the video do the talking :-)

If you’d like to take The Ripple Mobile Environment Emulator for a spin, please visit our product site at

The PhoneGap Start application can be found here:

We have enhanced the PhoneGap Start application to gracefully handle a GPS time out, for that source code, please visit:

Love for Community involvement

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Pj Lowe

A big part of why the tinyHippos team is so successful is our love for community involvement.  Whether it is contributing to open source projects, speaking at conference or just demoing our product Ripple, the team loves to give back and spread the word on multi-platform mobile development!

Please join us to listen to our CTO, Dan Silivestru speak at Communitech’s new Mobile Peer2Peer series on February 23rd at the Communitech Hub at noon.  Sign up is free!

Topic: The native app…is it dying? With all the fragmentation in the mobile marketplace, building mobile apps largely means 1 app per platform… will the native app survive?  Are HTML5 Mobile apps the answer? With frameworks such as PhoneGap, Appcelerator,  and browser/cloud based development, testing and deployment tools… They just might be.

Hope to see you there!
