FWIW, the MacRumors live blog was where I got the idea that "it knows where
you are," but I just watched that segment of the keynote and Jobs definitely
doesn't say those words, and he picks Moscone West from a list of bookmarked
locations.

That said, other sources have said that it has GPS or something like it, as
mentioned -- a caption to an AP photo and the Forbes story...

could be vaporware, I guess.  I really think Apple would be saying more if
it were there.  Not that they don't have a long checklist, but why wouldn't
they foreground this?
