Whether or not it's GPS, it seems like this is worthy of more
mention. It certainly looks like someone has finally integrated
positioning with an interface that satisfies me in an overall
package that is worth while (a bargain, even).
i've been curious about the same - considering got Apple got Cingular
to do some custom work to provide the three-way calling UI and visual
voicemail, perhaps they've cut some deal with them to make use of
previous unreleased / unused positioning tech Cingular has.

So, it seems to be underreported in the coverage of the Apple

of positioning technology. Actually, a photo caption in the
Chicago Tribune's "Red Eye" tabloid says that it's actually GPS. I
had guessed that because of cost it might be some lower precision
technology (but I don't claim to know that much about the tech
details or costs, hence my interest in getting opinions from
members of this list...)

I know all about Apple secrecy, but wondering if people know (or
just want to wildly speculate) any more about this...
