Helio and Buzzd Make Location-based Yelp-like Service For Your Phone
Yelp is great, but what if you could find restaurants and clubs based on where you are right now? Thanks to Helio phones' GPS service and the Buzzd software, you can. It works as a built-in app on your Helio phone (the two companies partnered up today) and will allow you to even message your friends to update them on where you're going right from the service. There's even real-time activity finding to figure out what's going on right now, something we're sure Jack Bauer would appreciate if he weren't so busy shooting up terrorists. [Buzzd]

We've got the walk-through video above, but here's what we think of iPhone Firmware 1.1.3.

It takes a while to zero in onto your location because it's not GPS, which means it's not really that great for turn-by-turn directions where you need to know whether or not to make a right at the next light.
