Estonia, Technology, Telecomunications

In fact, I have written stories about Narva-born hackers, but I am not sure if anything prosperous and good have come from Narva's IT sector.

Revel Mob is focusing on development of iPhone and Android applications.

The App Store shows that Revel Mob has done a miniature golf scorecard for example. That was released two weeks ago.

An enterpreneur Roman Grigorjev, the Revel Mob head, introduced me a new start-up from Narva – Grigorjev grew up in Narva-Jõesuu, but has lived in London for years.

"I am incredibly passionate about smartphones. I think third party applications will be the next "internet" and smartphones will be the next laptops, or even bigger industry," he says.

Revel Mob is still in quite early stages, so there is not much to show yet, apart from a team of eager programmers in Narva.

The idea is to outsourcing for hotels, restaurants, newspapers, art galleries and other potential customers, mostly outside Estonia – in UK, for example.

Grigorjev has approached to The National Gallery in London, with an idea of an iPhone app that can be used to go through collections of paintings via mobile phone. Louvre in France has already something similar, the man has heard.

Grigorjev is also involved with Rewel.net. The aim is to establish Pan-European discounts (e-coupons) site.
