Thanks for reply! I would be nice if you'd have considered adding something like that in the future - iPhones and such are nice, but there are plenty more users with simplier phones that don't have GPS. Anton On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 9:14 PM, Raffi Krikorian ra...@twitter.com wrote: hi anton.

AFAIK they mostly target smarphones and require both cell id and wifi ssid data to do the lookup, so it's not an option for j2me-only devices. On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Jonathan Markwell j.l.markw...@inuda.com wrote: Skyhook Wireless could be another option: http://www.skyhookwireless.com

hi anton. that's interesting, but, right now, we don't have anything like that on our roadmap. devices like the iPod touch, i believe, do the cell ID - coordinate mapping internally, and then could send those coordinates to our API. On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 12:14 PM, anton
