I've
found it interesting, but no huge surprise to see that location,
presence, GPS, however you want to refer to it, is the expected killer
app - likely enabling Apple to easily outsell the 6 million iPhones
that were sold last year - I bet that number easily surpasses 10
million with 3G! Notice the recent images in USA Today showing, what
else, maps. Check out the iPhone 3G homepage and when you browse around
you'll find loads of nifty images showing iPhone maps.
Finally, just
today, one of the first announcements for an application available to
iPhone 3G users via the Apple iStore will be WHERE
- recall WHERE’s widgets delivers content based on the user’s current
location and provides the ability to show this content on a map, get
directions and easily share the location with friends.

Starbucks store locator widget from WHEREExpect to see loads of other cool location-aware apps hitting the iStore very soon like locr, slifter, earthcomber, cellspin, geospot, taxibus, boopsie, lightpole, etc... Are you planning on lining up for iPhone 3G?
