Since you haven’t been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself really quickly?CHRIS:  Sure.

But one of the applications I worked on is like ADT for your body. So, if you feel like you’re in a harmful situation, you can triple click this big button in the app and it will dispatch emergency or police to your location or open a one-way communication to a dispatch center.CHUCK:  Oh, wow!JAIM:  Wow! That’s pretty cool.PETE:  It’s cool. It’s kind of like your phone is its own superhero or something.CHUCK:  There you go.

Well, we brought you on today to talk about Mapkit.CHRIS:  Well, that’s great because I think writing applications that take advantage of mapping data are a lot of fun.CHUCK:  Do you know how many times my iPhone has gotten me lost?CHRIS:  No, I don’t.[Laughter]PETE:  You have to be a real expert to know that.
