Meye - Connected Pocket PC Locator
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 04:00 PM
"What is MEYE? With Meye on your Pocket PC you can see where your friends are (and find new ones, too).
How it works:
1.You tell Meye where you are or let it ask your GPS unit.
2.Your pocket PC tells our servers where you are.
3. Our servers tells you where your friends are and who is near."
I always find location-based meeting services to be of great interest, except for one major thing: none of them interoperate, so that the likelihood that you'll actually find someone is minimal unless you all cooperate to install the same solution on your device. Still, it's interesting and if you have a GPS and are wondering what new applications you can use it for, here's one. :)
