Is this part of production yet?
2nd try is 15 miles off.
Yeah.. geoIP thing right? You can tap into the GPS in AIR cards tho, my buddy did this for a Merapi app.
It's not always 100%...but it gives you an approximation, from which you can then launch a search for a business.
It's about 75% accurate
Nope, it's not GeoIP...it determines your location based on which Wi-Fi networks are visible
Pretty cool tho
@hiro ahh... like Twinkle, right?
Victor says:
great
belpers says:
worked... is there a button somewhere or do we just remember the url?
There will be a button eventually...for now, consider this a "sneak peek"
Will this eventually allow the iPod touch to "findMe" types of check-ins?

Maybe they should sample several networks and compare it to what you're connected to. I obviously show up in Virginia. :)

Very good stuff indeed @hiro I'm loving the massive advances that you guys are making. Is this feature going to be available in the API too? Thanks for the updates, very much appreciated :)
keeps crashing firefox (see my previous comment). works perfectly in safari and webkit though! Nice work
