To some the Canadian Museum of Civilization CMC might be an odd place to experience the power of the latest mobile technology. But a new initiative at the museum in Gatineau, Que. takes advantage of the iPhone and iPod Touch — and pretty soon BlackBerrys and Android phones as well.

Just a week before Christmas, the CMC became the first museum in Canada, and among a handful in the world, to provide patrons access to audio and image enhanced information and tours via the iPhone and iPod Touch. The CMC Mobile Application, which the museum developed with Tristan Interactive, an Ottawa-based mobile app firm, can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store.
