    hmm, i am no expert in this field, but why would you be sending data to a satellite?

    Isnt GPS a broadcast system, and my details and your details would be sent to the gaming server, just like in online gaming?

    And with the speed of 3G cell data, it would be better than my 56k online gaming experience =)

    "I pwn joo!!"

    hahaha, good luck, the one thing the mac doesnt have -- good/uptodate current games. Give me my chop shop PC anyday, at least i can frag away online, tho with doom coming to my phone I may switch too =)

    lol funny. =)

    btw arent they talking about players with cellphones, so the players would be the data, so they would be as acurate as the GPS system is?

    Isnt Aided-GPS quite acurate now? Below 15mtrs?

    But what if u were walking past a billboard that advertised a movie, and wanted to know more?

    Yes u could log onto your WAP bearer, find the site (hope it works for WAP) look up the movie, tell the site where you are, then it may tell you the session times and the closest theatres.

    Then (if u dont know where the theatre is) look up another site to get directions to the theatre...

    OR

    Point your cell phone @ the billboard, get dets on the film, as well as closest theatres showing the film, then book your tickets and get guided to the theatre, hmm the second option sounds the easiest to me.

    Remeber life before the mouse, do you think the computer revolution would have happened if all the non geeks had to tab and code to do anything, rather than point and click?

    I think it RULEZ -- sooo many oportunities to develop with a mouse on the world!!
