A crowded room of curious onlookers gathered in the Thorvaldson Building recently for a sneak peek at the newest version of iUSASK – the new U of S application for the iPhone that will be the first of its kind in Canada.
About 15 people were involved in the development of the application and most of them were on hand for the demonstration June 26. Chad Jones, one of the developers, said the idea to create the iUSASK application seemed logical, given what was already happening in the Department of Computer Science.

“We offered iPhone workshops during the year and they were extremely popular,” said Jones. “We thought, why don’t we develop a real application for students?”
The popular iPhone by Apple has sold more than 21 million units since it was introduced in 2007. The iPhone uses touch screen icons or applications, known as ‘apps’, that can be downloaded from Apple’s online App Store. Apps can range from poker games to restaurant reviews to music players to Facebook. Some apps cost a few dollars but many of them, like the iUSASK app, are free.
