Mobile Industry Review: Yahoo’s Fire Eagle knows where you are

  • Peter Cranstone · 1 year ago
    We've had the ability to offer location based services to blackberry and smartphones for over 2 years. Also we introduced the notion of protected fields so that the user was always in control over their entire data not just their location based information. The major difference between us and Yahoo is that anyone one with a web server can plug-in our apache module (mod_mobile) and deliver location based services via simple mash-ups.

    Cheers,

    Peter

    Fire Eagle is genius. I've been using it for ages with various apps, and it's solid. I like the granularity of visibility it gives you.
