[android-developers] Re: Scanner GPRS

It's possible, but it still has nothing to do with GPRS. As you
mentioned you will have to keep track of the station IDs, network IDs,
and transmit power for each cell you're booked into while moving.
Transmit power will vary with time of day, weather, location of your
receiver (hand, pocket etc), so you're looking at quite some complex
data mining. But yes, it's possible.
