Bringing location and Wii remotes to the browser
Yahoo’s answer to Google Gears is BrowserPlus
Both are browser plugins allowing websites to do more with the user’s computer.
The thing that makes my heart pound faster is that Google recently announced that they’re building in location using Skyhook (iPhone and Loki) so that websites finally will have a chance knowing where the user is – down to street level.
Let’s hope Yahoo wants to do at least the same with BrowserPlus. Until then, check out the Upload to Flickr demo. The main page also mention interaction with Wii remotes, IRC clients, and JSON inspectors.
