Great read the last couple of days - I haven't seen the list this active in
a while and a lot of good topics.
 
Since Skyhook came up, I thought I'd knock off a couple of questions/topics
that people raised.
 
(1) Kris - yes, we do run on mobile phones.  A US based carrier will
announce a Skyhook-enabled dual mode CDMA phone later this year.  And watch
out for some interesting announcements at 3GSM in Barcelona on the topic of
multi-mode location technology on mobile devices.
 
(2) Location was a big theme at CES.  One of our customers, iRiver,
announced a Wi-FI only portable media player complete with navigation, maps
and point of interest data - and Skyhook's WPS as the location technology.

(3) Dennis - Loki for the Mac is 'on the way.'  You keep hearing that from
us but its honestly just been a matter of competing priorities/resources
that has made it tough.  We are releasing a new version of our APIs in a few
weeks, however, that will let you run WPS on Linux, OS X, Symbian, Brew,
etc. which help move things forward.
