I could build you one of those without privacy intrusion, and add the ability to switch from home/work/car automatically using GPS.

I'd be happy with 1% of what they raised , anyone interested? :(

Don't need GPS - WIFI connection can cover home and work. I personally don't suggest any automation for car mode. It should be manually started / stopped for safety sake unless you have an accurately-made car dock.
Do it and I'll donate money to make it happen. I am being serious.
We could do it all together on assembly - I can fast track through to assemblymade.com/ideas

Dude, can I just say I wanna make love with the idea behind assembly? I just saw the website and video and it makes so much sense!!
... and I could help by suggesting that you shouldn't use GPS for trying to figure out home/work/car, but rather a combination of WiFi and accelerometer data. Using GPS often will drain a battery faster than your users will uninstall the app.
Judging by the reaction here, I think people would.
Kickstarer campaign?
