Completely wrong.
Smart solution is Sirf III chip + network assistance.
Not smart solution is not Sirf III chip + network assistance.

I was really surprised to hear from Skyhook manager that a new 3G iPhone would feature network powered gps as a previous model.
So my interest in new 3G iPhone vanished immediately.

Today new new 3G iPhone model is announced due to October 2008.

So Texrat, saying has no value to us.
What counts is state-of-the-art Sirf III chip based navigation as
a standard in 2008.
I don't buy semi-solutions, low quality by-products in GPS navigation.

Just published new semantic magazines - TomTom, Navteq, Samsung, Asus (previously 3D GPS navigation) to let you see and compare
state-of-the-art solutions in gps business.

What is a nighmare for customers is to buy old solutions and have to
convince friends over and over again, that the older is better.

Yesterday, late in night , lurked Asusworld Magazine once again
for hot Eee PC with 7" LCD screen and oversized LCD cover.
On all 10 pictures, LCD screen was set from backside, not to let
customers to see and discover 7" LCD screen is not half in size of
the Eee PC .
What a shame to offer such assisted LCD (ALCD) a real-nightmare.

The same feelings come with any assisted- solution, semi-real-quality.
Pls, never ask me to buy any pseudo-quality assisted solution when
I have already got 5 full GPS $100 car navigation devices and new Sirf III come well under $100 price limit.

So I really don't love to .... buy semi-half-developed, half-quality solutions and gizmos as it makes me foul to use such semi-developed solution.
For the same reason I don't advise you to swap your new LCD for mono solution.
