Just an idea, and very much from a functionality down, rather than architechture up perspective, but wouldn't it be cool to have an app that fired off task reminders based on your location (GSM/UMTS cell or GPS) rather than a time. That way you could get a reminder to 'pick up laundry' whenever you went to the high street or 'check you zipper' every time you left the loo!

I'm no developer so I'm not in a possition to do anythign about this but I though someone else might.

Hmm, interesting idea. There is already an app that changes phone profiles on certain locations (GSM cells). So, I guess it is not impossible.

I think it's called cell profiler. I though something that hooks in to the PIM a bit more would be cool, specially in these days of small UMTS cells and devices with GPS built in.

I love that idea. My ppc is like my second brain for that kind of stuff.
