situations
Locale is an Android app that allows the user to create different 'situations' in which their phone behaves differently.
It looks quite clever, but seems to be mostly a semantic evolution because I can do a similar thing on my phone, only they're called 'modes'.
Semantics are everything though. This immediately reminded me of the phrase Woody Allen coined: "We've got a situation here!" A wonderfully meaningless sentiment but its tone doing the real communication leg-work.
I suppose the same is true for Locale situations. The real fun is coming up with them.

It's a shame that in use this app kills your battery really fast because it requires GPS to be always on.
Although I realise worrying too much about the technicalities is somewhat missing the point here...
