In recent years, smart mobile devices have acquired considerable computing power, plenty of memory and wireless network capability. Although smart mobile devices are very capable tools especially for geoscientists in the field, they found limited usage in geosciences because of the complexity in programming of such devices. However, Appforge Crossfire makes it possible for engineers to quickly create and deploy robust applications on most mobile platforms regardless of their operating systems by using Microsoft Visual Basic. In this study, a soil classification program was established for geotechnical purposes and complied and deployed for Symbian, Microsoft Mobile and Palm devices by using Appforge Crossfire in Microsoft Visual Basic programming environment. The application was tested successfully in the most common mobile devices.
