I thought about that some AGPS research and programming could be done already now - while we are waiting for the first Neo1973s *g*. And I'm 100% convinced that when we would have free server to get AGPS data just from the beginning, this would push the OpenMoko/Neo1973 start :) Beside to have free sources for the data, an own server software (GPL) that the user/developer could install on his own server. This AGPS Server would fetch all GPS data for whole Europe/World. My Neo1973 would connect via an encrypted connection to this server and would ask only the data it needs for it's region/local position. So this would leave no information about my position on not-own servers. Ergo, it would be interessting to work on a AGPS Server(GPL) for OpenMoko. When the localglobal binary works with OMA-SUPL http://www.openmobilealliance.org/release_program/supl_v1_0.html is the first question would be: is the OMA-SUPL protocoll free to use?
