Vindigo Expands to Four More Cities
Vindigo Inc., a company that develops and markets personal navigation devices for handheld devices, has expanded from New York to Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and Washington D.C.
The devices offer information about where to eat, shop and go for other entertainment in these five cities. Users may download the free application from (http://www.vindigo.com). A user keys into their handheld device where they are and what they want to do. The application then delivers recommendations, addresses and directions, among other information.
Vindigo also has formed an alliance with zagat.com, which will provide restaurant ratings and reviews to users in the five cities. Zagat content will be included in each new market to which Vindigo expands. Zagat will receive an equity stake in Vindigo.
Other alliances announced along with the expansion are SF Gate, the online counterpart to the San Francisco Chronicle, and clubplanet.com, an online resource for nightlife.
