Samsung Omnia HD with S-GPS and Xtragps?
Feb 17, 2009 gps navigation, samsung
Samsung Omnia HD was just recently announced at MWC in Spain. We first met this device as Acme i8910 about a week ago. Omnia HD is quite spectacular with its 3.7″ AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) display, 720P HD video recording capability, 8MP camera, fast internet access of HSUPA 5.76Mbps and HSDPA 7.2Mbps, GPS with integrated compass which provides navigation with touch control and voice guidance via dual stereo speakers, up to 48GB of storage options, and some 3D games.
What caught our eye in their press release was this part:
GPS / S-GPS / Xtragps with Navigation
We got the GPS part, but what is S-GPS and Xtragps? Anyone?

S-GPS may be standalone GPS
Xtragps could be something like Qualcomm’s GPSOneXTRA that provides assistance data, but without a standards-based SUPL server. I’m not sure if Qualcomm provides chips for Samsung.
