Jason Chen from Gizmodo:
Easy! His sample app is a contact searching app. Using location-based services (a new feature!) he filters contacts to only people who are within miles of his current location. This may or may not mean a GPS is coming. We’ll see. It’s doable using the current location program (the Twitter client Twinkle does this already).
