The business applications of device context mashed with location context are numerous. Commerce implications are the obvious ones, but go beyond that and you can see educational value, communications innovation, journalism toolsets, and plenty more.

I'd love it if my devices somehow knew which one I was using, and directed information to that device accordingly. (By the end of most days, I can barely remember which device I'm using. You mean the shoe phone isn't working?)

@whitney: Love your first paragraph. That's the big issue: we want all of the conveniences but none of the "security" issues.

People have this weird relationship with "security" and "Big Brother". We want to have stuff like OnStar, so if we're in an accident, people can send help automatically. We want lojack to find our stolen cars, and cell phones to help find us lost in the woods. However, then others worry that the Government or anybody who wants to find, can and will. Well, that's true as well. But you can't have it both ways. You can either be found, or not be found, for good and for ill.

Once you accept the fact that people can ping you anywhere if they really want to find you, through credit cards, through cell phones, through just about any means possible,

That also means you can take advantage of all the local information available to you, to find some special spots- yet somehow, the human filter aspect is never going to go away entirely.

Just as everyone in Philly has their favorite cheesesteak place, what would particularly suit you will depend on a local guide, in the flesh or not. heck, I have gone to school and lived in the Philly area for years, yet I just saw a special on TV about Philly foods like Pepper Pot Soup I never knew was a local "thing", as well as a hoagie shop I've never head of before. So the version of hyper-local will always depend on locals, and on people deciding to be "Mayor of their own Zip Codes" as Seth Godin has put it.
