Location based mobile phone
http://stuff.tv/blogs/sport/archive/2008/04/10/nike-coming-to-iphone-and...
Nike+ will definitely be extending its compatibility beyond the iPod Nano to the iPhone and iPod Touch. No surprise there really, but the interesting detail is that it could also make use of both devices Wi-Fi (and, ultimately for the iPhone, 3G capability) to let you update your training log on the fly. Once you’ve legged round your local park you’ll be able to send the data (probably via a software app like the one the new SportBand uses) wirelessly without having to sit down and drip sweat over your computer.

[Location-based Services ] Hitchers, Location-based gaming
Hitchers is a proposal for a location-based interactive cellphone game in which it sounds like you're basically toying with hitchhikers. As a player you can "summon" nearby hitchers and give them tasks or missions (e.g. "fetch my Groove Armada CD from the trunk, fool!"). Pick up a hitcher as you pass by and interact with them by trading photos via MMS, exchanging questions or passing on messages for them to give to other players. A central computer tracks the progress of all the hitchers, and players can check up on their backgrounds and "memories" of stores photos and videos of their travels. Sounds like the perfect vehicle for avoiding any of the actual adventure of picking up real live hitchhikers.

All new cell phones sold in the United States must carry geographical positioning technology accurate to about 300 feet. Companies at the panel called "The Revolution in Location Aware Computing" hope to bring location accuracy down to within three inches and promise to deliver everything from traffic reports to find-a-date services to precise information on your child's whereabouts.

[Location-based Services ] Nokia to turn cameraphones into foreign food finders
Dubbed Point&Find, the technology incorporates numerous elements, including GPS positioning, image recognition and artificial intelligence algorithms. However, the processing required to work out what you just snapped an image of will apparently be done on your network provider’s servers.
After snapping, say, a t-shirt in a shop window, or a film poster, the handset will connect to the internet and, hopefully, present the user with a selection of online purchase options or movie reviews.

[Location-based] SkyHook
Skyhook Wireless (formerly known as Quarterscope) is a Boston-based company that has developed a technology for determining geographical location using Wi-Fi as the underlying reference system. Using the MAC addresses of nearby wireless access points and proprietary algorithms, WPS can determine the position of a mobile device within 20-30 meters. It provides service similar to GPS without GPS hardware and can also integrate with GPS-enabled devices to provide hybrid positioning. With sub-second time-to-first-fix, 20-30 meter accuracy and near 100% availability indoors and in dense urban areas, it is very complementary to GPS.
Skyhook's database includes more than 23 million wi-fi access points and covers 70 percent of population centers in the United States and Canada.
Skyhook Wireless offers Loki, a free 'virtual GPS' toolbar that automatically integrates a user's location with web content such as Google Maps, Fandango, Weather.com, etc.
Skyhook announced a partnership to help users geotag their pictures.
At the Macworld Conference & Expo in January 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that both the iPhone and iPod touch will use Skyhook's WPS as the primary location engine for Google Maps and other applications

Plazes allows you to find out what others are up to and see what’s happening at different locations. Users share where they currently are, what they’re doing and post future plans.

The service used to force users to download software which auto-determined user location. In May of 2007, they changed the way they handled location and a download is no longer required. While not exactly the same, Plazes has many similarities to Twitter and Jaiku.
