Looking for that perfect image for your class, but away from your computer? Now, search over 32,000 images from the Duke University Libraries’ digital collections on your iPhone, through DukeMobile, Duke’s integrated iPhone Application.
iPhone and iPod Touch users can browse and search twenty collections that range from advertisements and documentary photography to sheet music. You can save and download images to an album, and access all descriptive information. 
Making digital image collections viewable on mobile devices is part of the library’s ongoing efforts to make its resources available whenever and wherever researchers need them.
DukeMobile, introduced in March 2009, currently serves about 50,000 users, providing mobile access to the campus directory, sports scores, interactive maps, event listings, the course catalog, and Duke videos on YouTube.
This project at Duke is probably going to be one of the first of many. Taking, as they did, 32,000 images from the Duke University Libraries’ digital collections on your iPhone, or for that matter, ANY data be it medical or Business .. whatever is going to be the trend of the future. Particularly when the iTablet comes comes out. I say this because the iTablet will probably not house SQLite – it will house the real deal SQL which will make SQL and Objective C explode.
