DMV UNVEILS NEW iPhone APPLICATION

iPhone users will now have DMV information and services at their fingertips with a new DMV iPhone application called DMV Now. The California Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) created an application that will allow iPhone owners the ability to find a local office with the actual wait time and provide turn by turn directions based on the GPS location of the iPhone, take sample written driving tests, access a large library of DMV driver education videos and access other important DMV alerts.

Core Facts

The entire process of building the DMVNow iPhone application took only ninety days from inception to approval from the Apple Corporation and the DMV is the first state agency to build an application in-house keeping costs to a minimum.
DMVNow iPhone application is free to iPhone customers and is available at the Apple applications store.
As of July 2009, there were roughly 6.4 million iPhone users in the United States.

Quotes

Since millions of people own iphones and other Apple wireless devices we thought this would be a great way to make DMV that much more convenient and accessible to customers. More people are depending on their hand held mobile devices for information and we hope to build more DMV mobile applications in the future for other wireless device companies.
