P: Wow incredible, I am impress. N: cool, not bad. You have to improve that! Everyone that has this cool nexus one should know the power handset full of services out of the box. Nowadays this location-based apps are popular because smart phones like Android ones come with GPS, WIFI, 3G, Location based on network, html 5 compliant browser and thanks to Android open environment as developer you can use all that services and content in the phone with no limits to innovate. I suppose that everyone knows foursquare. Foursquare is a location-base social network you are in some place, you check in that place and you win badges and mayor ships. I am going to show you how to make foursquare for Android. Well with no places content but Foursquare basically uses maps and location. So In this session I am going to show you one of the powerful things of Android the integration of Google maps and Location in applications.
