Hi,
I would like to know why my $100 car navigation is Sirf III
and I get fix fast and gps in N810 , iPhone is still aGPS
as no-aGPS is slow ?
Why not to put $10 Sirf III chip into iPhone, N810
and have fast fix and strong signal ?
I have got Motorola A1000 3 years ago and itr featured AGPS.
Fix very slow as showed no interest to have my A1000 to connect via gprs to get gps fix faster at some extra cost.
It was 3 years ago.
What makes Nokia, Apple to still offer old AGPS not Sirf III GPS solution ?
Sirf III fast fix, strong signal GPS chip is $10 only
and no need to pay any charge to telecom operator to get a fix.
New 3G iPhone was already marketed as full GPS cell phone/PDA
and failed.
Skyhook (no GPS navigation is still in operation).
Fix based on triangulation algorithm, not reading satelite gps data.
What is a problem to put $10 Sirf III chip into N810, iPhone 3G ?
I was all for new iPhone but don't want old AGPS solution.
