New O2 Litmus Software Release Live, 11th June 09

The team has been busy beavering away behind the scenes to bring you the latest O2 Litmus release which went live today.

Firstly O2 Litmus is now connected into O2 UK’s shiny new infrastructure. This should be invisible to you, but it means that we are now super cool and future proofed! We can also start exposing more functionality from inside O2, enabling Developers to make better and more intelligent apps, meaning O2 Litmus members get more functional and personalised services.

If you have heard me speaking at a recent conference or have attended one of our developer days you will know this area is of particular interest.

This new release contains updates of our previous API’s, plus no less than four new API’s providing a rich set of functionality, allowing you to query everything from the users location, through to what type of device a customer is using, down to they have an all you can eat mobile data bolt on provisioned on their account.

Note we have updated the Developer & Member terms and conditions to take into account this new functionality - please review and ensure you understand them, here.

Finally have also updated the O2 Litmus FAQ’s, where you can find out more information on the new API set

I hope you enjoy these new features, and as every please tell us what you think, or would like to see next via the forums.

Have fun!
