GISuser‘s Glenn Letham recently blogged about how he found himself unable to connect to one of our webinars via Webex’ PC client but at the last minute he noticed that the Webex invitation had also included a link to an iPhone app that he didn’t even know about. With a little quick emailing, he was able to connect after all and logged in just in time.

We didn’t know about this method either and we thought it was news worth sharing. For those of you who have an iPhone and are curious about how you might use it to attend one of our webinars, here’s the relevant excerpt from his report:

there i was, sitting in a coffee shop grabbing a cup and loading the PC client from WebEx when the app failed and wouldn’t load for me (perhaps I missed something but I looked around and couldn’t troubleshoot the problem). Luckily a link to the WebEx iPhone app was provided.

So, I simply forwarded the email with the link to my gmail account (accessible via my iPhone mail client), installed the application, and logged into my webinar… right on time. The application serves up a slide show, complete with list of attendees and ability to chat (an option to review slides would be good). The app then called me and I listened to the audio portion via phone call streamed to my headphones so i wouldn’t disturb anyone inn the coffee shop – great stuff!

Glenn’s tip is timely because we’ve got another webinar coming up on January 26 at 11 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. In WMS: Behind the Scenes, you’ll learn the technical details of how WMS works to serve map data to network users. Sound interesting? Why not register right now?
