GPS for the iPhone via Navizon

by James Allan Brady on September 19, 2007

Well, technically its not GPS as there isn’t a single GPS satellite or chipset involved. But it will use cell towers and WiFi to attempt to triangulate your position and display it on Google maps.

Why is there no 3G on the iPhone?

We have a video of Steve answering this very question. Clearly I wasn’t the only one that was curious. He doesn’t just give a simple answer why and then try and move on either, the video is actually worth a watch.
