To my knowledge all the currently sold FxOS phones have GPS chips. Only some of the upcoming ultra-low cost devices won’t have GPS chips. Not including a GPS chip is one of the things that actually brings down the price. MLS will be used in those ultra-low cost devices as the only source of location information. Much of our work as of late has been in support of these devices. Stumbling on those devices won’t make much sense, as indeed you need a true position from a GPS chip to anchor your observation data. On all the other phones you can run FxStumbler, though you need to side-load it, as it has to use protected platform only APIs to access cell and wifi state.
