We really didn't mean to do anything negative here. The reality is SimpleGeo is going away, and their customers don't have a good next step. We're working to provide that. (This project is driven by our need. Note that the Urban Airship doc recommends essentially that you build your own version of the Context service.)
That said, we're happy to be as transparent as we can about what we're doing, and definitely not trying to fool any unsuspecting customers. There's definitely code behind the site now, and we are on schedule to provide at least some subset of the SimpleGeo feature set in production in advance of their shutdown. We're posting now to get feedback to direct our prioritization until launch. If Urban Airship had given us more notice of the shutdown, we would have waited until we were live to post this. But they are pretty clear that March 30 SimpleGeo's APIs will start returning 410s, and there's nothing we can do to change that.
