You could make sure you don't forget to pick up your dry cleaning by having the alarm go off when you drive by the place on your way home from work. The interface for setting the alarms would have to be easy to use, though, and on a hand-held device this could be a problem. Yeah, location-based reminders are a neat idea.

"Welcome to Spain".. etc,.... (Usually hoping to have some financial gain from whichever company we might choose to connect through?) Perhaps it just needs a little fine tuning to let you know which station you are approaching? Agree with Chris.... welcome home!

Good to see you back blogging again Rich! :-) This is similar to one of the ideas for the OpenMoko Neo1973 phone with its built in GPS, to have it give you reminders based on your proximity to a location.
