Hi Alex I’m glad you like it. However Snowball is designed to do two very different but highly complementary things:
(1) Provide you with the best available position information (better than Cell ID but without using GPS). (2) Allow you to post and search location *sensitive* content in your area, while bypassing the positional requirement altogether (i.e. LBS without knowing your location). It turns out that (2) is a much faster and more reliable solution for applications that don’t really need to know position but instead need to know relative proximity (e.g. which Pizzeria is closest, or where can I find a date). I implemented (2) and some of the battery vs. accuracy vs. cost UI for the challenge, along with 2 proof-of-concept applications to show what it could do. Unfortunately doing LBS with opportunistic peer-to-peer networks is a bit of a mental jump for most people, so I am currently sharpening my presentation skills in order to get my message across better.
