I was thinking about this the other day :) It'd be useful if web apps could access GPS/location information from the device. This would be useful even on laptops and desktops. GPS receievers are very cheap now and with a use like this, I could see them being embedded in every laptop within a few years...

That assumes they can come up with a standard within a few years, which based on HTML 5 etc, I doubt.

GPS/Location is one of 10 functions currently in scope. Details of which will be uploaded to website shortly.

The challlenge is of course is speed, but we have some agressive timescales - and more importantly motivated, technical companies who are on board to deliver in these timescales..... time will tell.
