+1 on that.
Our Estimote beacons are on pre-order.
:)
However, no matter what the technology, I think the big deal is still about content creation, creating object interpretations, content managing those interpretations and having an interesting story to tell are more important than how the story is delivered.
That's the direction we're approaching it from at least, with the ongoing objective of creating systems that allow for content creation once and delivery many times via a variety of now and future mechanisms.
Seems to me that *beacons* can make those stories more engaging, by having an object call out to passers by. The fact that they are unaffected by our miserable weather also make them very interesting for large scale outdoor implementations. (Living museums and sculpture parks, I'm looking at you!)
A museum trail would now be much more fun!
