Any hint?

Ever feel your phone could be more communicative? A prototype developed by German and Swedish researchers uses pulses of heat on your skin to get the message across, and to direct you using GPS.

Check out tangoGPS – http://www.tangogps.org/
The source compiles & runs fine on Debian (and probably on every distribution), don’t let the main page mislead you.
