Skyhook announced partnerships with two different Android location-based apps this week.  The first is Find Starbucks, a local search app that helps users find the Starbucks coffee shop nearest to them.

The second app we announced a partnership with is Apot, a Twitter client app.  The app is very straightforward: it posts geotagged tweets. This way, your followers can view your location on a map.

These apps are simple but both depend on location. This is where Skyhook comes to the rescue.  It is becoming increasingly clear that Android apps which rely heavily on location need Skyhook in order to provide the best functionality for users.
