Sorry about that.  My browser was acting weird.  Anyway...

I'm coming to the conclusion that ProximityAlerts (PAs) don't actually work
at least in v 1.0.

Here is why I think PAs don't work (reliably):
1. my code sends ProximityAlerts which show up in the log
2. when my code does a sendBrodcast(new Intent(TYW_PROXIMITY_ALERT)) the
phone vibrates and I receive a notification, so I know my BroadcastReceiver
is working fine.
3. Once out of a n attempts or so (n > 25), the phone acts like it received
a PA but I can't replicate it.
4. I've set the LocationUpdates to be as fast as possible and the
ProximtyRadius to a reasonable amount  then I walk up towards a landmark
that I've sent a PA for.  I can see my position changing, I see the landmark
enter the ProximityRadius zone, I hang out there for up to 30 minutes, and I
move away, watching the landmark leave the ProximityRadius. Nada.
5. I haven't come across an discussion of PAs using verion 1.0 of the SDK,
which I find suspicious.

So, either I'm violating some undocumented feature of the PA (like, you can
only send one at a time and then only during a full moon) or these things
don't work.

What do you think?
