You could have javascript poll periodically for position, then update the contents of the app accordingly, with photos, links to youtube videos, mp3s etc.<br /><br />It's a pretty neat idea. I'm not sure what the rollout of getting access to other phones' positioning data is, but at least in the case of iphone, android, and palm pre, the html/css/javascript rendering is virtually identical.Jer Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519146903491711008noreply@blogger.com
