Re: iPad
As far as I'm aware "assisted GPS" is normal GPS with the added benefit of cell location enabling much faster cold startup times for the GPS component. This is why you only get the GPS functionality on the 3G model as Apple are, apparently, using a chip with the 3G and GPS combined.Cloudane wrote:Still waiting for a definitive answer on whether the 3G's "Assisted GPS" means it has an actual GPS in it. As apparently it can mean either. Hopefully this means someone will find out at last!

Re: iPad
Looks like TouchOSC is getting an iPad release which will be cool. I'd imagine Jazzmutant are getting ever-so-slightly twitchy right now...

Re: iPad
That's the theory I'm going with as well so far, it's just that I haven't seen anything which says A-GPS must have a satellite component. It's something that a few people have been asking, and some of us who are a bit more cynical can't help wondering. Someone recently said that the original iPhone's was also called A-GPS, but having said that I can't find an actual reference to it anywhere.WiteWulf wrote:As far as I'm aware "assisted GPS" is normal GPS with the added benefit of cell location enabling much faster cold startup times for the GPS component.

Going to be very tempted on the 3G model if it does have the real deal - it'll make one hell of a map!

I'm of much the same opinion, though it's all going to be very much dependant on the network costs.Cloudane wrote:Going to be very tempted on the 3G model if it does have the real deal - it'll make one hell of a map!
Pisses me right off that nobody seems to be doing proper pay-for-what-you-use data anymore rather than some BS that expires if you don't use it. They do it for PAYG calls so why not data?
How would people feel if they filled up their car with fuel but the garage came and syphoned it all back out at the end of the month if you hadn't actually used it?

I know what you mean though.Funny enough, I'd probably still use my MiFi so that other things can share the connection. I'm only really interested in the 3G component for its GPS side-effect. But yeah, whatever happens it's a £10/month job. For some reason all the mobile companies are still insistent on the ancient charges of something ridiculously insane like £2/MB - greedy bastards that they are - to force you to keep the internet bolt-ons going and to give you a nice expensive punishment if you make a mistake.
