Secret App #2: 'Locust'
- Will require a background daemon polling for location data
- Will require use of local sensors including the accelerometer to detect motion events
- May use a SQL database for data storage but will require significant work to prevent the data store from growing too large
- May include integrating location data with maps, with the goal of having the user draw on the map using their finger (stylus hopefully never needed)
- Will include integration with a task and event subsystem; hopefully the native calendar application

Latest tidbit:
I hate software patents, and yet the few people I've described this app to all chant the same thing to me over and over: "Patent that or prepare to get screwed". I wonder, should I swallow my pride and apply for a software patent?
