A NONE innovative mobile electronic tourist guide application

The following article gives me a possibility to talk about the subject in positive and negative light: It was published in Springer in 2007 and is classified as one of five most popular articles in "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing" subject: check the article "An innovative mobile electronic tourist guide application".

Negatives:
   1. From my point of view it was outdated already in 2007 (WAP etc)
   2. I was always saying that this kind of working is barely enough for a master of science level and I am extremly surpised to see such article in Springer: it is neither innovative neither analytical: just an engineering task which is rather common

Positive: it gives me a possibility to present to students how little is needed to start the PhD study or how to write master thesis for students having no bright theme
