oMbiel’s iPhone campusM mobile app for Universities

I’m trying out whether or not posting news in this format — by forwarding the release to Posterous and from there to the site — is any good.

I know that Posterous typically struggles with line breaks (I usually have to add my own html to emails I write) so the output might look weird.

Back to the release. It looks to me as though oMbiel have sewn up a super segment in the Universities. It’s not just iPhone either. Have a read…
