I tell you, I’m looking forward to getting hold of an Android-capable handset to try out all these wicked applications coming our way. There’s so much developer freedom — *so* much.
One application that caught my eye recently was Trak.
“Trak”, the site’s front-page reveals, “is an Android based Twitter client that can Tweet your geolocation, and read and display the geolocations of your Twitter friends. With street maps, satellite view and all.”
I’d have that in a minute. Here’s a screenshot of some Twitterers on the Trak map - I highlighted’em in red:
I can imagine applications like these being heavily, heavily used. I can’t wait to see how they perform in the real world!

seeing how it's actually, actually implemented. Anything that involves me
having to actually type "I'm at the Soho House Hotel" simply won't work
though. Only the geeks will do that. Your average normob can't be arsed
and will be too busy worrying about chocolate.

Yahoo also have something similar (using GPS) in the works.

support GPS. And if they do, you then need to write an application for each
one that will interface with it's GPS receiver and pass that to the online
service. Dream on if you want this to work with your average RAZR. Ergo
text is the way ahead.
