Geo-Aware Application Primer

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/04/location-technologies-primer/

We all know that I'm in love with GIS, GoogleMaps, and VirtualEarth. This article was very eye opening as to the limitations and features of new handheld devices. I strongly recommend you read this article to understand what is possible with hand held devices as far as GIS is concerned.

I think almost all mobile based applications will require an implied location based element. In addition, the hardware (devices) that runs these applications will need to provide functionality to support the determination of the user's locaiton.

Great article.
