Yeah... The marketing material looks good, but really, it doesn't do much other than tell an app that you are in the area of a certain tag. The tags don't really do anything except broadcasting it's own uuid. The rest is done with the apps. You can get the same sort of support out of wifi hotspots.

    WiFi on my iPhone goes down when I'm not using it (for good reasons because it eats power like a mad cow with the munchies). That's sort of kinda the whole reason of these iBeacons..

    So yeah that's more or less all they do and that's more or less all I want them to do.. Without eating my battery.
