[Postneo.com] Now imagine that cel phone sending a simple HTTP request to a HTTP 10-20 query:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2002 13:46:23 GMT
Server: GNokiaSrv/0.2.1
Content-type: text/plain
10-20: Lat: 45 35 30 Lon: -90 45 10

This would be awsome. Its simple, yet an effective means for location based services. Imagine a Pocket PC Phone specifing it’s current location based on cell towers, by the current Wifi access point it’s using, or some sort of integrated GPS - with little more overhead than a standard HTTP GET.
