This is nice. Mobile Safari now has a very simple and elegant Javascript API to the iPhone’s location functions. This means a web app can request a visitor’s location, and if the user agrees, coordinates are made available (just like with native iPhone apps). Very sweet. Can’t wait for a reason to use this.

This was my most anticipated addition to iPhone OS 3.0. The convergence of browser location awareness (Firefox 3.5 has it too) and more refined mapping APIs (Gmaps v3 is slimmer/more modular) is going to be huge.
Replicating the native iPhone Maps app is now ridiculously easy: http://plebeosaur.us/you-are-her…
