I have done something similar to what you want. I developed an application that we needed for a study. It collects GSM and WiFI data, stores it in a file that I later process with a perl script. The script sends GSM and WiFi data to Google's geolocation api and retrieves location coordinates (like

I have done something similar to what you are trying to do. We ran a study a while back where we compared the accuracy and precision of a time-shifted location process vs an on-demand one. We wrote an article with our results. We collected GSM and WiFi data on several locations and we also collecte

To answer your question about using a phone for develoment, I use a ZTE Racer - cheap but fully up to the job. However when it comes to findout out why a program crashed the emulator with logcat output is for superior from proving information about the state of variables, etc, than any real phone.

Hi all. I am about to start an Android development project. I would like some advice before starting with the project. First of all, I have done some research on which phone would be the best to do Android development. I have seen many suggestions, but most people seem to point at the Google Nexu
