If you're a
developer or researcher working on location-based services, Skyhook Wireless has
opened up its Wi-Fi Positioning System. You can now download and use the
APIs at no charge...just go to http://developer.skyhookwireless.com
to register and download the Windows XP and/or Mobile versions and you're off
and running.
Some quick
background on Skyhook and WPS - we have developed the first 'commercial
grade' Wi-Fi Positioning System on the market. Our goal is to (a)
introduce location-aware capabilities to non-GPS devices (laptops, PDAs,
smartphones, etc.) thereby greatly expanding the addressable market for
location-based services and (b) augment/compliment other location technologies,
such as GPS, which have challenges in mixed-mode environments such as
indoor/urban areas - places Wi-Fi positioning are well suited
for.

article about us in Fortune Magazine - http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/07/24/8381745
Finally - we're
giving away a Segway! Register your Skyhook-powered application for the
Wi-Fi CageMatch and you could ride away a winner....
