cellid

Hi.

I'm building a location aware mobile application which uses GPS, but i'd like to be able to add cell location too.

The best thing I have found so far is to use Google Gears, which has a location API available, but my application is not web based.

Are there any good public cell id databases that can be accessed from any kind of application?

I have found a few interesting projects out there like OpenCellID, but the database is very poor right now.
