With WiFi range maxing out at something like 100 feet, using WiFi access points to pin-point your location is a fairly accurate method - providing that you have a WiFi AP in range.

iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 Jailbreak Details. Software/firmware revision 1.1.3 has been jailbroken (full read/write access to the filesystem), meaning that unofficial third-party applications can be installed under this release.

The jailbreak method requires hardware modification. This means that unless you 1) really know what you are doing or 2) are crazy, you won’t be attempting the hardware mod.
