rumor: iPhone to get GPS in 2008
Published on May 23rd, 2007 in gps navigation, phones
Apparently the next generation iPhone which will probably be announced in spring 2008 at Macworld will incorporate a SiRF Star III chip or something along those lines. According to this source which doesn’t not cite any other source:
Apple is certain to use a chipset using Assisted GPS technology, which cuts down the time needed to determine a location using GPS. (A-GPS) is necessary in urban areas with tall buildings or locations with heavy tree cover.
A-GPS helps the device for a fast satellite fix by getting some help from cell phone towers. SiRF’s press release from February of this year does talk about a collaboration with NXP Semiconductors to speed the development of cost-effective location-aware 3G wireless handsets though. Something to think about… via

I have always been amazed at why cell phone companies don’t enable full bluetooth. especially if the phone must have a data plan. why not just open it up for bluetooth GPS. and sync wirelessly. these are things i would consider in this day and age as a must. with cars having bluetooth in them and GPS. it would be nice to have the phone connect wirelessly and the car could also get “updates” threw the phone. multi-millon dollar companies always leave out a feature that we would expect.

Why do I find the tech savvy feedback from TiFFaNy and her verbose sis CLAiRE morbidly fascinating?
I’m in hopes that TiFFaNy and CLAiRE are caracatures and complete. fabrications. A clever satire.
Again, in hopes; Please god.
I have been awaiting for this feature on any phone for a long time, glad its coming to be a real solution soon!!
