walking hotspot

[Andrew Robinson]

I predict big things for skyhook, the technology that helped non gps  
first gem iPhones know where they were. As wifi becomes more  
pervasive, determining the physical location of a device is just a  
matter of building a database of those ssids. Tracking devices are  
going to change from Orwellian nighmare to a pervasive reality very  
very soon.
