Just to cir­cle back to my post about field-testing the iPhone in Seat­tle last week­end, it looks like my issues with the location-based ser­vices not func­tion­ing cor­rectly were Seattle-specific.  Every­thing works as expected here in Port­land.  I might be pissed if I lived in Seat­tle or trav­eled there more (I don’t know if it’s just Seat­tle or other cities, too), but it works where I live and spend most of my time, so I’m per­fectly happy with it.

Hon­estly, the GPS is kind of cool, but I really do not expect to be using it for more than a quick geo­cache here or there.  Or maybe, if some­one writes an appli­ca­tion to record tracks and way­points, I might use it to bet­ter embed GPS loca­tion data into the pho­tos taken with my non-GPS dig­i­tal camera.
