There has been some crazy growth for RIM in Indonesia in the past year. According to the Asia Times there are now 350,000 BlackBerry users which is up 550% from last year! With a population of 240 million that is a lot of potential for RIM. Especially considering the fact that the iPhone has a paltry 15,000 users. Now it makes sense why RIM was jumping through so many hoops to get recertified to import BlackBerrys.
With that said it would be prudent to mention a new app called Foyage that was brought to our attention.
Foyage is an LBS (Location Based Services) application that only works in Indonesia (Jakarta, Bali) and Singapore. The app helps you find services and shops near your location including more than 12.000 restaurants, ATM, petrol kiosk and many more in Indonesia and Singapore.
Features include:
- location aware
- latest updates/review from users
- browse wide range of categories
- detail information with rating, photo, phone number and map
- upload your review, photo or comments and share it with other foyagers
The app is a free download here
Have fun !
