Many new phones have GPS in them already but haven't been unlocked by the 
carriers. 

Rumors abound that Apple has been looking into location-based technologies so 
my guess is that it has a GPS chip but won't be touted in v1. Apple is known 
for their software upgrades to hardware that unlock features of their devices. 
It would make sense to put some GPS functionality in reserve when the network 
is ready for it, then unleash the feature as a surprise to the worshipping Mac 
heads.

I for one would love to see the hardware designers at Apple tackle the GPS 
unit, however. 

If you wanted to dabble using OSX as a location-based device you could develop

could be vaporware, I guess.  I really think Apple would be saying more if it 
were there.  Not that they don't have a long checklist, but why wouldn't they 
foreground this?
