It’s finally live!! The reason I started this blog and the source of much of the iPhone code I’ve published is finally available on iTunes App Store! I’ve been working on an app which uses the location service to locate the device and then find real estate for sale nearby. Svensk Fastighetsförmedling is one of Swedens largest real estate agent and I already build their website (www.svenskfast.se), their intranet and their sharepoint application portal. It all started out as a research project this late summer after a trip to Italy where Hampus and I bought our iPhones (they are sim unlocked in Italy). We wanted to see what the iPhone was capable of and making a location aware internet app came natural to us. The result is “Hitta hem”. You will find it on iTunes store here: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301719769&mt=8

It’s only usable in Sweden because Svensk Fastighetsförmedling only work in Sweden. Here’s some screen shots from the app:

The search result shows how far away the real estate is. The details page has more details including a textual summary of the apartment/house for sale. Through the buttons you can immediately contact the real estate agent using mail or phone. You can also get more pictures (supports orientation) and get directions using Google maps.

The application has been complete for quite some time but legal papers selling the app, Christmas and one rejection has gotten in the way until now. I am very proud of the application. I hope you like it!
