While there are problems with SimpleGeo (neighborhood misspellings in San Fran, GeoIP that isn't very complete, polygons that represent political boundaries and not geo boundaries, etc) it is a useful and affordable service that we use all the time. I kind of hoped it would go to Google who would use it to improve their APIs. I hope it lives on with Urban Airship and keeps getting resources to improve. In the end it's a good thing that someone is competing with Google in this space.
