Whats interesting is the growth of smartphone apps (including our BTC Mapper and Mapzen). We really see this as key to increasing the data going to OSM data.

At BTC we are committed to adding a lot of extra features to our smart phone apps that will make it even easier for people to add data to OSM.

Look for new versions of BTC Mapper for BlackBerry, Android and finally iPhone in early 2010.
