A few days ago, I was surfing the web and I found out a project that works over most mobile phones which lets you know where your friends are in real time and update your status in twitter. It´s called Dimdix.

On their website they say you don´t need a GPS system to detect your location. Does anyone know how this works?

I´m using a Motorola L7 and amazingly it detected my location.

I cannot stop thinking of all the things I could do with it.

If anyone wants to take a look you can go here

Thanks,

Regards,

Juan

$3 a month too, which is fairly reasonable (esp on CDMA phones which don’t have free tools from Nokia).

But I’m still not show how successful this kind of micro-payment via subscription model will be, esp as it’s hard to defend against a player offering the same thing for free with monetization coming from lucrative targeted advertising based on location.
