Hi Fred :

I think we are on the same page. Especially interesting is the capability to detect the current cell id from within the cell phone. I tested the service on the same provider (Rogers) using two different Windows Mobile 6 devices at the exact same spot. One was working the other was not. Why ?

The Google software was unable to obtain the current cell id to which the phone was connected in one of them. There is two variables at play (detect current cell id from phone, map it to known location in the area).

Later - Martin

Matt: Is this the same thing as FireEagle ? I would really like to get an early preview of that service if available

Hi Fred:

Even with your username, there is not easy way for me to follow you or lookup your profile in the Seesmic UI.
Unless I missed something completely.

Nice work Fred. Do you have a packaged app to try out for those of us who already have the Android Emulator installed....

Re: Rogers Announces Abusive iPhone Rates in Canada

You are totally right. Also given all the forthcoming apps that will be published to the AppStore, you bandwidth consumption will surely be quite high. Unlimited bandwidth enables those application to run without you worrying about data consumption. And it also help the development community really used the iPhone as an Internet device.

Guess is Rogers is not understanding any of this. I think we need to call them and explain what this means beyond greed and profits... Seems the monopoly wins again...

Any suggestions...

One of your best post that clearly explains the failure situation and how you can get the best of it.

Thanks - Martin
