SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Residents and visitors can now discover the best of Arlington, Texas with the new City of Arlington mobile apps. The free iPhone and Android apps, along with the new mobile website, feature on-the-go access to entertainment, recreation, shopping, jobs, city services, news, maps and more.
"We wanted to use new and growing technology to give our residents greater access to their city, as well as provide the 6.5 million people who visit Arlington each year a useful and easily accessible guide to the city," said Deputy City Manager Trey Yelverton.
The mobile apps launch right in time for this year's Super Bowl XLV, which will be held in Arlington's Cowboys Stadium on February 6, 2011. More than 100,000 football fans are expected to visit Arlington on Super Bowl Sunday.
"This technology represents a new way of delivering information to our citizens and visitors," said Louis Carr, Chief Information Officer. "Unlike most other city apps that are merely a mobile version of their website, this smart phone application integrates GPS technology that can instantly route a user to any city facility, as well as many of Arlington's shops, hotels, restaurants and other businesses."
The mobile app, developed by MacroView Labs, contains more than 700 pages of content filled with useful information about city attractions, events, businesses and services. The iPhone application is available for download in the Apple iTunes Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id408897505?mt=8 and the Android application is available in the Android marketplace. Sample application features include:

Dusty, Rusty Scuba Divers: Ways to Stay Active
2011-01-13
Life takes its toll. We are all busy. Scuba diving typically gets put on a shelf after a while and starts collecting dust. In today's tight economy, people are just not spending the money on extra things. We are creatures of habit and eventually scuba diving gets put to rest, at least until now.
As time goes on, with anything, we get rusty. This could be as simple as swinging a bat or throwing a football. It's just not second nature like it used to be. Then our reflexes slow down and things can become a danger if we are not careful. Take driving a car for an example. ...
