Alright, I've just placed Canberra's first extreme Munzee Powertrail. All are up trees and cable tied to dead branches.

So far I've seen 5 types.
1) Glued to the object.
Is a pretty permanent solution but it can be a difficult to get your phone in position if the munzee is hidden out of direct sight, or under something.
If that is referring to one of mine it is not glue but double sided 3m tape
Very thin and could be confused as glue by some.

You have to go and see if the find count has incremented.
This greatly reduced the gratification you get from having your munzees found.
Yeah, that and lack of a DNF function are the two biggest problems for me at the moment. DNFs are being addressed in the next update "The Journal" (Online Logs, but optional Im guessing... so a Scan will probably auto generate a "Zal captured this munzee on DATE at TIME, which can then be added to / updated online later.)

Notifications (New Munzee, Found , DNF etc are on the devs list ;)

Found the first 'virtual' munzee today! pjmpjm has created a mystery version for non-Androids so we logged that one.

Looks like non-Android phones or iPhones will be going the way of Betamax, floppy disks and zip drives before long. Don't buy Nokia shares!

Yep that was a good move. I think Blackberry are the one worrying now. I think RIM's days are numbered everywhere except North America. While Apple still hold the lead ing absolute numbers, sales of Droid are far outstripping. Give it a year I think the market will be just over 1/3 Droid, just Under 1/3 iOS and then the rest ;)

The other thing keeping Blackberry in the market is that they are the only product certified as secure for device-based, corporate email, so most Government Departments have to use it or do without. But that too in only a matter of time.

I agree that they will go.

We have quite a few now between the Melb CBD and the southern suburbs.
I've been planting then around during my travels, and there are some by covert, echo and others too.
To get started, turn your smartphone loose on this.
