The article also correctly and critically points out that many of the IPhone's own applications, like weather and maps, are not automatically location-aware. This could be a first pointer in that direction.
Pointing also to a concept we demonstrated in mock-up for a long time, you could make such a system location-aware in the sense that it has information about the particular layout of a retail store you are in, and provide a map and search capability there. Not a new idea, but powerful. Now that IPhones have a considerable market share, it could be profitable to have retailers subscribe to such a service.

Thanks for the information. I am completely hypnotised by my iphone, and i tend to notice myself sitting on it for hours at a time. The possibilities are endless, and there is almost nothing that you can't achieve on the iphone. I am wondering what other applications or modifications i can make that i have not already. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks again!
