With perhaps little gold stars marking where their friends are in real time. Is that an application that Apple would approve? Perhaps, perhaps not.

I assume you will be writing this app?

From what I understand, Geobased advertising is one of the things Google is pushing with the Android. So in theory, as you sit down on the tram your Android phone pops up with an ad for "Theme Park Oracle":

Look at all those people in front of you.

Would you like to know how to avoid them?

I can tell you.

The official release happens in about 5-min.

You can catch it live here if you are interested.

Reading the various blogs I'm afraid this phone from this carrier will not be the one for me.
