Place Mail location-sensitive to-do list for cellphones

Pam Ludford, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the University of Minnesota, has developed a location-sensitive to-do list app for GPS-enabled cellphones as her thesis project, but she's not yet looking to market it. The app, called Place Mail, can send a reminder whenever you're near a particular location. So, for instance, if you're near the video store, it can remind you of a movie you wanted to rent. Ludford is now looking for participants for a trial period, after which she'll publish a paper on her research and finish her Ph.D.
