no big news now, if you subcribed to some tech news sites - the gPhone idea is no long a speculation, but soon a reality (2008!). For those geek-in-heart, the SDK should be out on 12th November 2007.

You will be able to update your location and other information while you are on the move. If you coupled your phone with it, you can even help the system to almost precisely note down you current coordinate.
