We’ve just added some nice event content to our service. Fire up your Nulaz application and check out which concerts and events will be held around you.

A while ago, the law in Germany around location based mobile services changed. Due to the changes, it’s not allowed anymore to show your location to other users, unless you have given your WRITTEN consent to the service provider. So, if you want to use Nulaz in Germany, you have to write us a letter. We had a lot of problems with this, and our service in Germany (which is connected to all the operators for location) has become pretty lame because of it. This also means that all locations based services that can be used in Germany are breaking the law, including Google’s Lattitude.

If this law would be generally applied and your little brother would ask you to tell your mother where she should pick him up, you would have to tell him to write you a letter with his written consent to give his location information to a third party.

The fun part of this sage is that we have actually received a letter, which we have framed and has got a special place in our office.

We just had a nice review on iPhoneclub.nl written about our upcoming Nulaz AR Premium application for the Appstore. We’ll keep you posted about when we get it approved.

We already had a web launcher in the store for a while, but finally we are pleased to announce that our full Nulaz application has been released in the Apple App Store. After an admission process that took more than a month, all iPhone users around the world are able to download our application now.

With Nulaz for iPhone you have all J2ME and web cool stuff: map, friends, locations… But not only we have those, there is also much more. We squeezed the powerful iPhone engine to come up with some new amazing features, like a new map, a more powerful search, more descriptive lists, etc … All livened up with fancy animations, a cool design and some easter eggs you will have to discover!

But that’s not all. Right now we are working on the new version, applying all the new iPhone 3GS features like compass, camera, notifications … and compatible with iPod Touch as well! So make yourself ready for the upcoming Augmented Reality version!

Don’t hesitate, go to the App Store and tune up your iPhone with Nulaz!

We have just added a number of languages to our website. We are now available in: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Dutch, French, Indonesian, Puortoguese, and Russian. Very soon, these languages will also be available in our mobile apps, so stay tuned.

Hi folks! We are happy to announce a new version of Nulaz! This new release includes not only all the possibilities you used to love, but also new amazing features you can’t do without from now on… Don’t hesitate, just visit www.nulaz.net and try it now!!!

But what’s new in Nulaz 0.3?
A more fluent navigation throught the application thanks to our improved map, more information about users, paginated contact and location lists to have an easier access to them, flip enabled for supported phones…
And that’s not all! We have created a completely touchable interface specially oriented to Nokia 5800 and N97, that will allow you to go through the whole application without any keyboard (physical or on screen). The new Nulaz is specially designed for you to enjoy your favourite application only with a CLICK!!

P.S. the full touch version for the Blackberry Storm is on its way.

In two days, there is a big dance festival in the Netherlands, called Dance Valley. Together with Hyves, UDC, and Heineken Refreshing sounds, we have created a mobile map for it. Also for the iPhone. However, it’s been two weeks since we’ve applied to Apple, and we’re still not in the app store.

It’s a nice application with a GPS enabled festival map, the line-up, all the info points (like toilets, food, etc) and it has a connection with a big Hyves screen that you can post your updates to.

I admit it, we were a bit late, but it’s about time that Apple puts the us in the store. We have 2 days left, and we haven’t heard anything from them yet. We got the request from Heineken very late, and we’ve worked hard to apply to the store in time.

This issue with uncertainty about how long the admission process will take and whether Apple will actually approve the application will hold us (and most probably also other companies) back to develop such an event based application again.

For people without an iPhone, you can get the application by filling in your phone number below:

Even though we can not access the store from here in Amsterdam, we are available in it. For free! The application process took a while and they were very picky on the screenshots for some reason, but finally we made it. These stores and their submission procedures are a bit mystic, but it is defenitely a good way for us to reach a lot of people. So go ahead and see what we’ve got in store for you!
