Lots of Apps

As it stands, there are currently lots of different context- and location-based applications for a wide variety of tasks in today's market. Some examples include:

• Yelp! - location-based user reviews of restruants, sights, etc.
• Loopt - Connect with friends, discover new places
• BrightKite - Discover the world around you
• OmniFocus - Task management

Our task was this: find a problem that can be (better) solved by creating a new context/location-based application.

So how do we find out what problems need to be addressed?
