  Hi all,
Is there any way of putting in location information automatically, eg. 
in a Diary or Journal entry? I was thinking of some sort of IP location 
based service (some web based ones are free, or even google). Or, a 
connected cellphone with GPS is also a possibility.

I can see how the iphone app will benefit (although I don't have one 
(yet)). Not sure how quick the processors in phones are these days, but 
coupled with a barcode scanning .el it might be a handy thing to carry 
around (eg. "buy mama bear's oldstyle honey from shop near bridge below 
highway 9" can be done in one point and click.)
