Would be sweet if it could turn your wifi on/off for work or home…or turn your Bluetooth when you got to your car.

Check http://code.google.com/android/adc_gallery/app.html?id=25

Unfortunatly, it’s only for Android so far.

How about real time GPS enabled search inside the browser for Blackberry and also real time “tracking” (if the correct permissions are set) via GPS – all Blackberry compatible.

Check out this link: http://www.5o9mm.com/fireturkey?whereare=Peter,Kevin,Liz – shows we’re Peter, Liz and Kevin are in real time. Mash up courtesy of Yahoo Mobile maps.

Alternatively you can just build your own cool web service that uses GPS – getting the data from the device is easy and uses the above plug-in (www.5o9mm.com)

Cheers,

Peter

Windows Mobile has a setting to change the profile based on your calendar. If your calendar shows you are busy (i.e. in a meeting) it changes your profile to Meeting. Then back to Normal when your calendar is free.
