Mozilla & Gecko clones Mozilla Labs recently offered a sneak peak and download of Geode. Geode is one of the first applications to use the new W3C geolocation specification API. It is currently available as a plug-in for Firefox 3 (and seems to only support Windows and Mac systems at this time). Mozilla Labs indicates it will likely be a new feature integrated in an upcoming browser release.

Given all the licensing and privacy issues this questionable improvement adds to Firefox I'm glad it is currently only available in extension form and only available for Windows and MacOS. I sincerely hope it stays that way, or I'll be forces to search for a new browser and I really am fond of the browser I have now...
