Some time ago I played with external GPS receivers and J2ME. It is possible but would take some time to support external receivers in twibble as well. As for now the current twibble version supports maps and 'favourite locations' These features should work without GPS. Screenshots are here: http://www.das-zentralorgan.de/twibble/twibble-screenshots/ Thanks Rainer! Some time ago I played with external GPS receivers and J2ME.

I'll try it on the N95 I got available. My personal phone doesn't support the LocAPI, unfortunately :-( (Any plans on doing a non-LocAPI version? You could check out the NMEA parser lib at <a href="http://www.universal-locator.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.universal-locator.com</a>). Thilo: That’s excellent!

The service enables posting as well as conversation and life streaming. At Jaiku each post starts a conversation. Folks can comment on your posts and vice versa. You can also include all your personal webfeeds in your Jaiku online presence. So in some ways, it becomes one point of online presence for you. There's an API as well so you can mashup stuff to you heart's content. And if you're using a Nokia S60 compatible handheld device, there's powerful location sharing. work with Jaiku in the U.S. It might be worth a look. -cheers, Neil Have you tried Jaiku.com?
