Gizmodo: GPS enabled Cell Phone released - locate your buddies!
Grope: Helio Drift GPS Buddy Stalker Vs. Dodgeball - Gizmodo
Basically, you can use the phone to find friends on you buddy list, with a few conditions. They have to have a Drift phone, too. They have to be on your buddy list. They need to have pinged the server with their most recent location. Still, very cool.
Now, thinking tangentially for a minute: what if the map was a concept map? You could discover who was in the same conceptual thought space at the moment, and go and join them in SecondLife or similar.

Hi Joaquin,
I don’t know! I imagine that it’ll be mid-2007 before you can purchase one. But, thanks for the question
