FreeTAK/ATAK/WinTAK
FreeTAK, ATAK and WinTAK are now available. Roger H (KK6LZB) and I are working on deploying it here in Orange county, CA.

It's pretty full-featured, and has a military/DoD pedigree. Read up on it if you're interested, and lets compare notes to bring this potentially valuable EOC software platform to the mesh.

We've been using ATAK in DoD for many years. It's amazing.
ATAK has been used as a platform for about a bajillion smartphone-based applications for DoD and especially Special Operations Forces. You can host soooo many things with it that it's almost like opening up Pandora's box of utilities. I think a chat app, an email app, a Push-to-talk app, a SIP app, a group navigation/geo-location app, and a camera viewing app would be some of the utilities I would host on it for hams.
It's a great tool if your group that is using it has a coordinator to determine what will be hosted and how.
