Skyhook Wireless has opened up its Wi-Fi Positioning System. You can now download and use the APIs at no charge...just go to
jed, according to 2.c. of the terms (http://developer.skyhookwireless.com/terms/) i have to contact you before launching any service/application: "Skyhook shall, in its sole discrection, approve Licensee's request based on the execution of a mutually acceptable distribution license." i'm sorry, but i fail to see that i can "use the APIs at no charge" as long as the 'real' terms are hidden. i hope i'm misunderstanding something. if not, you seem to. /n On 8/2/06, Jed Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If you're a developer or researcher working on location-based services, Skyhook Wireless has opened up its Wi-Fi Positioning System. You can now download and use the APIs at no charge...just go to http://developer.skyhookwireless.com to register and download the Windows XP and/or Mobile versions and you're off and running. Some quick background on Skyhook and WPS - we have developed the first 'commercial grade' Wi-Fi Positioning System on the market. Our goal is to (a) introduce location-aware capabilities to non-GPS devices (laptops, PDAs, smartphones, etc.) thereby greatly expanding the addressable market for location-based services and (b) augment/compliment other location technologies, such as GPS, which have challenges in mixed-mode environments such as indoor/urban areas - places Wi-Fi positioning are well suited for. Check out the recent article about us in Fortune Magazine - http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/07/24/8381745 Finally - we're giving away a Segway! Register your Skyhook-powered application for the Wi-Fi CageMatch and you could ride away a winner.... ..............................................
