I can't see why WiFi access point information couldn't be done in add-on user software, maybe integrate it into Plazes[1] on the tablet? If fact with with Nokia's acquisition of Plazes I'd be surprised if we don't see it in some form on the tablet. Cell tower information maybe a little trickier. Nokia will have to make that visable to user space and I'm not sure if that would be in the interests of Nokia or the carriers. I know the iPhone can be put in a mode that reports cell tower information but that is supposed to be for field engineers only. > I'm just wondering how continual the reporting of the > location information will be, and therefore what sorts of > cool apps would be possible.
