Métro 
Summary (iPhone / iPod Touch)

Since the iPhone release in June '07, we have received many requests for a version of Métro  for the Apple phone. And with the following release of the iPod Touch, the pressure is increasing...

Unfortunately, Apple had decided not to open its platform to third-party developpers. Consequently, it is impossible for us to respond to this demand.

As you probably have learned by now, Steve Jobs has changed his mind and announced that an SDK should be released in February 2008. Depending on what Apple will deliver, it might become possible for us to port Métro  on the iPhone after all.

In the meantime, we suggest you use i-Métro , our online version, on your iPhone or iPod Touch:

For this, you have 3 different options (they have all been tested on an iPod Touch):

  • The "classic" i-Métro: feature-complete (including mapping in some cities) but it is not optimized at all for small screens. Just point the iPhone browser to http://imetro.nanika.net.
  • The "mobile" i-Métro: better adapted to small screens but it has less features than the other versions. Just point the iPhone browser to http://i-metro.mobi.
  • The recommended Netvibes Métro widget (illustration above): feature-rich and optimized for the iPhone with the dedicated Netvibes portal page. To use the widget, you must setup a free account on Netvibes, add i-Métro to your personalized home page and point your iPhone browser to the iPhone version of Netvibes

We will keep you informed of our progress with the iPhone version of Métro , come back here for updates.
