2. If the user's browser supports geolocation *and* you ask them for
their postcode as part of a seemingly natural interaction then you can
easily crowdsource a postcode/geocode database as part of another
application without having to get people to go to FreeThePostcode.

There's already a FreeThePostcode iPhone app to do exactly this, but the only people who would use it are free data geeks like the readership of this list.

If that functionality could be worked into a different, much more widely used app though, it'd be much more likely to fill the database of freed postcodes in a reasonable length of time.

Question is, which app?
