Nick,
Ah! I understand you view now. I was thinking more on the platform that
could anyone deploy their our metadata service (open source) and have a
client application that can be customized by the user and select which
metadata server to contact. The metadata server that will be contacted by

Looks like it. ;)
Actually, I was thinking something more OpenMoko specific - a sort of
enhanced PIM that lets you store locations and contacts (and contacts
with locations)

Why do people think that AJAX apps are necessarly remote ?
They can be local and drive internal components (such as a gsmd for
contacts/calling/messaging), do people really think that you'd have to
connect the Internet to write kitchen receipes ?

Umm, the GPS chip and driver don't rely on the cellular network to

I think youtube is a very good means to spread some adverts..
Why not try it that way?

Cool idea. I think we should get the press machine turning on the inside,

That was exactly the example one of the german developer used to explain the
gps in a german podcast (I think it was Harald Welte in conversation with
Chaos Radio). The idea is, that you save some points and adds information
what to do there. So, a few meters around the cinema, the Neo switchtes

Kind of OT, but on the GPS thought... one thing it could do is map WiFi
hotspots to GPS coordinates automatically as you walk / drive around. That
way, for example, you could solve that problem of not being able to easily
find WiFi hotspots (which is the big thing against WiFi right now), since
