We will have a brand new Android App for finding (GPS) and uploading
images on Commons especially designed by the Wikimedia Foundation team
for WLM – I'll get a showcase on Thursday, and the whole process
developed very promising. There is a very slight chance that they can do
it for iPhone too, but nothing promised.

Additionally, a German sponsor will create a mobile add-on in their POI
and upload app which will batch upload images on Commons every night - a
bit different approach, geocoding for non-geocoded addresses and for
Android and iPhone OS. A bit less for hard core Wikimedians, but more
for new WLM target groups.

I will give a better overview about the status next week.

Regards,

Elke
