Imagine this. You have travelled to a far away city to meet associates at a huge conference. What happens when you get there? Odds are, you spend half your time looking for the rest of your party and spend the other half of your time making excuses for why you couldn't find each other. Well, OverNet Data's ConfNET is trying to put an end to all of that. Their software works on WLANs to help you locate your buddy using positioning and communications.
Now, if it will only help me find my wife and kids at the mall....
"Created in conjunction with Microsoft, OverNet Data’s software includes Buddy Locator, an application that provides the location of delegates at a conference venue to users of Pocket PC 2002 devices using the WLAN connection of a device running the software. Utilizing the WLAN network for both positioning and communications, Buddy Locator enables users to receive alerts when their colleagues arrive, and tells them where their colleagues are within a conference venue."
