Gauging Openness with iPhone as Measure:
I’ve been trying for months now to explain the bottom-to-top nature of what an open cell platform running on an open network would look like. Thanks to Apple, I can now use the iPhone location feature, which triangulates on both cell towers and Wi-Fi access points to produce geographical coordinates, to break out the chain of physical hardware up to applications and services that could be opened up under Android or other open phones and networks.

I’m in the process of going through my “toread” del.icio.us bookmarks. I started with the oldest ones and after i had finished reading Some notes on the building of codezoo i found that the site described in the article is no more. Makes you wonder about the significance of the article – i mean, even if they did everything right, it didn’t make their project last a mere 3 years, no?
