Hello! Burin

Apple implemented the W3C Geolocation API specification in Safari for their iPhone 3.0 software update, so this means iPhone optimized webapps will be able to do location-based features. Ah! GPS location vs IP-based lookups. So sexy! Location awareness doesn’t have to be a native-app only feature :)

Pair this with the local database storage offered in the HTML5 spec, and you may have a travel webapp that you can use OFFLINE on the iPhone. One proof of concept of the local db in action is Brandon Aaron‘s jQuery docs browser for the iPhone.

Screenies of what you’d see!

zomg secret project or something?
