I read today that bug #2037 (use GeoClue with Maemo) is closed WONTFIX with the following comment:
The whole location framework will see significant improvements but GeoClue is not in the plans. In fact Nokia as a whole is making big investments in own location technologies and services covering the whole stack.
Only when I read this I realized how much a cellular modem in a future tablet will improve location based services... Not only will we probably have more user-friendly, improved A-GPS, it will also be possible to estimate the current location when there's no chance to get a GPS signal.
Cool.
