Agree 100%. My company is working on a location platform that has the
end-user in mind, with comprehensive privacy controls (similar to
Facebook). Once we crack the iPhone location data, routing it through
Brightkite would ensure that only apps that the users select have
access to location info, optionally with a level of fuzziness.

go iphone hackers!
I hope we all can remember that without some robust user
protection mechanisms, a rogue script could hijack the users' loc
data for malicious purposes.
imho: a top goal for a location utility ought to be empowering
users to control, at the lowest level, disclosure of their own
locations.

Martin and I have been disassembling some of the iPhone frameworks/
libraries involved in retrieving the Cell ID. We made some
progress last night, but I have made considerable more progress
today. He and I will keep you guys posted soon.

From what I can tell, you have to specify your location manually.
Kevin Elliot and I have started working towards extracting cell
IDs from the iPhone and are investigating some methods that look
promising.

anyone know how this iPhone 'location based service' works?

I'm wondering if they have access to cell tower IDs and
locations, using some kind of IP domain loc lookup, or if this
is just another 'click on your location on a gmap' app.

Ian,
After hacking around on my phone a little, I figured out a way
to list all visible networks via an AT command. If you're
interested, I can elaborate.
AT+COPS=?
+COPS: (2,"T-Mobile",,"31026"),(1,"Cingular",,"31041"),,(0,1),(2)

Unlikely question of the day....
Anybody know of a device that indicates which network(s)
provide reception in a given area? Call it a 'cellular
sniffer' if you like...
My hack to get this done is to carry 4 cellphones bound with
duct tape. When I'm done using it, it will be the perfect
mobile for a baby's crib!!
But I'd prefer a slightly more, er, elegant hack.
