Palm Pre GPS Tweets

[wraggster]

[Mike] sent in this project he’s been working on. He has posted instructions on how to get your Palm Pre to tweet its GPS coordinates at regular intervals. It does require that you have Linux installed on your Pre, but that’s not that big of an issue as he has a tutorial for that too. Getting the tweet to happen involves setting up a custom PHP file that sends the tweet, then a cron job to get it to run on a schedule. He mentions this could be use full for finding a lost phone as well as keeping track of loved ones. We would like to see him ad a script to do similar with a picture. Maybe take a picture and upload it every time a call is placed?
