Whether your looking to bring a new application to market or looking to extend your existing applications into the mobile space, Pathfinder will drive you to successful execution and launch.
The Mobile Computing Breakthrough
We consider the iPhone a game changing platform. It is the first mobile platform that goes beyond phone and email to deliver a true mobile computing experience, and it is making rapid inroads into the enterprise market. The numbers speak for themselves:
- Over 1 billion applications downloaded
- 65,000 + applications in the App Store
- 60% of all mobile internet usage in the US, almost 4 times the nearest competitor.
If you have an application or service that will benefit from mobility and location based services, this platform should be your number one target.
Designing iPhone Experiences – Less is More
Your users are on the go, with one eye on a palm sized interface and the other on their surroundings. They need just the right information, at the right time and in the right place, and they have no patience for extra clicks, scrolls or zooms.
In this context, less is more. Our designers and developers understand that dynamic and how to take advantage of the sophisticated display, rich interaction capabilities and location based services that are unique to the iphone to deliver your users what they need, when they need it. Get that right, and you’ve got applications that your users will love and that they’ll recommend to others.

In addition, we have over ten years experience developing the scalable back-end services, rich internet applications and enterprise application integrations required by sophisticated mobile applications.
