This is really neat idea - I've seen web projects that allow you to 'geotag' real-world objects (geotagthings.com and others), but this is actually for your own purposes of tracking that item back down. Perhaps you take a CD/DVD/Video game to a friend's house, or when you're shopping you want to remember to come back and pick up that outfit/TV/Equipment when you're by the mall again. Or, sporting event season ticket seats (really getting to how good accuracy will the AGPS have?)
While LBS mobile apps aren't new, the Neo will be one of the first to expose the AGPS to client-side developers (besides Nextel, which inspired Mologogo). This is what makes it exciting :) Andrew On 1/23/07, Robin Farine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello everyone, On my desktop machine, I like Tellico (a KDE application to manage collections) to keep track of some of my stuff. On the Neo, I would like something similar, a simple application that manages objects consisting of, say, a set of custom properties and possibly with some automatic grouping according to filters on properties. And the AGPS provides the icing on the cake: a common example is "where the heck did I park my car". With this application, the happy owner of a Neo would select the object representing his car as he leaves it and hit a button to associate the Neo's current position in space-time with it. Later, he could just select the car object again and ask the Neo to show him the way.
