Austin-based Hoover’s Inc. today unveiled an iPhone application version of its services called “Hoover’s Near Here.”
The business information provider founded in 1990 lists and sells company and industry profiles to sales, marketing, business development and other professionals.
The tool for Apple Inc.’s iPhone and iPod touch allows users in the U.S. and Canada to find information for companies headquartered in the same location as the device. Information for companies in other locations can also be viewed, including business name, address, phone number, Web site, industry, sales, employees and key contacts.
The Near Here App will cost $29.99, but is currently available for $19.99.
The company was the second in Austin recently to announce an iPhone application. On March 3, the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas launched the iPheedANeed application. The free tool features news from the Food Bank’s blog, a hunger stories podcast, low-cost recipes, Facebook updates and fundraising events.
