New Technology from Eye-Fi

An interesting world we are creating. I have always found it entertaining that we have folks whose job it is to drive around in cars with cameras attached to the tops of them to document our neighborhoods (Google Earth "streetview", MSN, etc.) It turns out we have a another entire crew of folk whose soul purpose it is to drive around in order to figure out where all the little wireless base-stations are that bring us the internet without plugging in.
Why o why, you may wonder. Well some fine folk under the name of Skyhook have discovered that this information, once documented, can be used as an alternate to a GPS satellite system to figure out where you are, locationally speaking.
The fun does not stop there- This fancy technology has now been stuffed into the standard issue memory card that fits with ease into your digital camera. My understanding is that the location is then automatically added to your metadata in each file. All for only $130- I'll be saving my pennies.
Until then, you should read the actual article at the NYT so that you can get the information second hand, instead of third...
