Comment(by AlbertCahalan):
Given a net connection and somebody willing to buy a database, you can do
this fairly well. (for example, you could run the database on a server at
OLPC)
http://www.ip2location.com/productcomparison.aspx
I think you'd want the "DB11" product. It's $649. The "DB5" product is
cheaper but it lacks timezone info.
You get a year of free database subscription from IP2Location if you port
the interface to a new language. (Forth, Smalltalk, etc.)
