GPS and Mobile Devices

allNetDevices: e911 Pros and Cons.

infoSync: Motorola touts new GPS chip. Single-chip GPS in a 7x7mm package, supposedly sensitive enough to work "under dense trees, in a parking garage, or even a chop shop."

infoSync: 1xRTT and GPS from Verizon, Samsung. The a310 features GPS-based e911 functionality and is available now from Verizon.

I've been wondering for a while now if GPS-enabled cell phones will work with PDAs. The carriers are likely to drag their feet in rolling out location-based services, and their early offerings are likely to be corrupted by their need to derive revenue from them. Not to mention the inherent usability challenges...
