As I have learned through "inofficial channels", Hewlett-Packard has made redundant the group that developed the MScape platform for Windows Mobile. This is really a pity, because now there is no further support for this very nice mobile geolocation platform. You may remember that in summer 2008 our Leeds Met staff won funding for developing the Our City, Our Music application.
I am not yet aware about how future support of MSCAPE will be made available. It would be great if the software for MSCAPE would be released as OpenSource, so that the Mscape community can continue to develop it.
My best wishes go out to the former members of that now redundant group! You have done a great job developing the MSCAPE platform and making it publicly available.

The ex-HP mscape team thanks you for your good wishes. We have started a new company called Calvium. We intend to build a new architecture to support a broader range of sensors and client devices in a new authoring platform. In the meantime we are in negotiations with HP to keep mscapers up and running.
Thanks, Phil, for your comment!
Yes, I know about Calvium, and I am looking forward to the output of this start-up company.
