I bought an ipad. don't know why, they are rubbish. Not they do not have GPS. Not even the 3g versions. They do look good but are too heavy to use for any time. And much as I hate google, android is much better then ipads os. Apple is really the same as macdonalds. total rubbish but kids are fooled to go there like sheep. Al

My Droid X has that. When the GPS is not enabled (as in phone without GPS) it does triangulation which is not very accurate depending on tower location. I know nothing about the new pad devices although they interest me. I would really like one that has Ubuntu on it.
