Simon Willison : Welcome to Fire Eagle! - Welcome to Fire Eagle!. It’s launched! A service and accompanying API for saving your physical location and selectively sharing it with applications that you trust.
Rod Begbie : Fire Eagle - Fire Eagle has launched -- a broker for your physical location, which other applications can use to improve user experiences. It's really just APIs and geekery at the moment, but the applications that use and enable it will start appearing pretty quickly #

plasticbag : Soon you'll be able to get yourself a little iPhone plug-in GPS unit, which looks pretty cool. - Wonder what the software is like. Useful and good for Fire Eagle.

Rod Begbie : Geotagging with Zonetag and Bluetooth GPS... (plasticbag.org) - Good overview from Tom Coates on how to get your cellphone geotagging and uploading photos automagically. This is the process I use, and I recommend the Nokia 6682 highly. It's a decent-ish camera, and a great phone. #
