Skyhook announced a partnership with another Android app today: What’s That? by Fuzzy Squirrel Software. What’s That? is an indispensible tool for adventurers. The app determines location and tells users about landmarks, stores, and other objects in the area, from coffee shops to mountains in the distance. It searches multiple databases including Wikipedia for this useful information about a user’s surroundings. The app can be downloaded today in the Android Marketplace for $1.
