Eliot, thanks for mentioning the entire “cell phone needs GPS capabilities” part of the experience. Has anybody here read Smart Mobs by Howard Rheingold? Lots of cool info on this stuff even though it is 3-4 years since it was written.

[...] I’ve been involved in a number of wireless projects over the past few years, and this urge to tag our physical world with data is something I’ve come upon previously. As one commenter on TechCrunch put it late last year, “tagging physical locations is a natural mashup of del.icio.us and the real world”. We seem to want the spaces we occupy to be meaningful to us, and we also seem to want to leave our own individual marks on them as well. [...]

Bus Week had a good article on this topic a few months back. I think that they referred to it as crunking. Wavemarket is another LBS apps play funded by Qualcomm and DFJ, I think, doing some things in this space.

This is very cool. I blogged about this type of technology in a few recent posts (http://web201.b...10/geo-rss.html and http://web201.b...nal-alarms.html).
I wish these guys the best of luck, as I think this idea has great potential. Tagging physical locations is a natural mashup of del.icio.us and the real world.
