Qik on Blackberry becomes location-aware!

This BlackBerry 0.1.12 Alpha release adds this one highly requested feature (according to Qik) as well as bug fixes.

I wonder if embedded location will cause some problems for some people. Or, is it the case that people who use Qik are tech-savvy enough to avoid such issues? My other question is when other smartphone platforms will gain location awareness too? I’d like to see it for the Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile smartphone platforms myself.
