Mark,

Can we get back to this comment, made quite early in this thread?

If my phone is running a location-aware clock or a location-aware
weather widget, would getLastKnownLocation() be guaranteed to return a
value in my app?  Or is that the point of the 'passive' provider?  

With my widget installed on my HTC EVO, which runs the HTC standard
location-aware clock, it always knows where it is as I travel from home
to work.  That would imply that my app's call to getLastKnownLocation
returned results since the phone knew where it was.  Does that make
sense?
