viaPlace works different then you describe. We don’t store end users locations or anything about an end user by default. A user can optionally create an account to store their favorite locations or to leave comments about a points of interest.

Our registry system distributes data that has been tagged by location and type. The client devices have a preferences setting where you can filter that data by type (i.e. restaurant, transportation, events, etc.), as well as by location and distance. Its more like doing a SQL query and getting back everything that is pertinent to you, not the other way around. Hope that helps clarify.

Best,

Just like you can sell “apps” in the iPhone store, you can actually sell Intents/Services/Libraries through the Android Market.

For instance, someone might release an application that uses the built-in camera library, but might tell the user “if you want better pictures, you should upgrade to the SnappyCam App 1.0!”, since this other camera app handles the shutterspeed and stability better. The user then goes and buys that app for $2.99 from the market, and the original app can now make use of it.

Rad, eh?

How do you plan on paying for that?

BTW, if I see any spimes, I’m going to step on them!
