    How come when i use maps or anything else location wise, and it asks me if i want to use my "Current Location" why does it say that i am located in Buffalo NY when i am really not. I'm basically in Albany NY, but keeps insisting i am in Buffalo

    I thought that feature only works for the iPhone because the iPod touch lacks gps and cellular triangulation.

    Better than my iPhone, I'm in Boston but it tells me I'm in Kansas whenever I have wi-fi on. :rolleyes:

    Haha, there's a way to change that. My home WiFi network pinpoints me exactly. (I have a touch. Not an iPhone.) ;) http://is.gd/Stm will take you to the Skyhook page where you can submit it. Enjoy, and hope it helps!

    I hate you all >____>

    I live in Eastern Toronto, and I can't get this functionality to work. >.<
    There go a LOT of apps that I could have used that are location-aware

    My friendo gave me his Airport Extreme and my location always shows up as his address, so that says something. I've also submitted my info via that Skyhoop or whatever link about a month ago but they've yet to update jack.

    Probaby because they're jerks. And fatties. J&Fs.
