OK, this is good stuff. Intel’s talking about mashups that utilize location awareness where the device knows where it is. This may have some really cool travel applications! They’ll be demoing some stuff and I’m anxious to talk more with them about ways to integrate deviceOspheric information – ie the world of data, now mostly wasted, that is flowing in from navigation devices and other hardware.
They are really asking for feedback about the types of APIs that run at the base level – ie sort of machine level – that address challenges like connectivity. For travel this might take the form of answering the following questions:
*Where am I located right now?
* Where is the blog/website/device located that has the information I need?
Joe, thanks for you’re interest. I’ll be speed-geeking the UMPC location aware demo again today at Mashup camp if you are interested, I’d love to talk with you about other things you are interested in with regard to location.
Thanks for your input.
