i installed this on my phone. it works pretty well, considering they are having to work with an incomplete reverse-engineered toolchain, just like all the other iphone developers.

at work, it pinpointed my position perfectly. when i got home, it said it didn't know any of the nearby cellphone towers, and locked up my whole phone. oh well, we're living on the edge.

The implications of this could be huge for iPhone application developers.
