In early 2007, the iPhone didn't exist. Today, mobile device users represent the second-largest group of visitors to the BU web. Over one-quarter of all visitors to bu.edu websites are using a mobile device. Given this rapid growth, we have created BU Mobile Apps, a suite of applications for the iPhone. BU Mobile Apps for iPhone features BU Mobile which includes the University's calendar, maps, directory, course descriptions, and live tracking of the BU Shuttle. BU Mobile also includes an "Emergency" feature, which provides quick access to the BU Police Department and other emergency service providers.
