GPS on the iPhone 3G Confirmed?
We have all heard the rumours about whether or not GPS functionality will show up on the new iPhone, but according to GigaOM it is a done deal. Their confirmation is based on two factors: private sources that claim a GPS contract for the iPhone was awarded to Broadcom and legal requirements put in place last year by the FCC regarding Enhanced 911. Even though GigaOM is a reputable source, I’m not ready to buy into iPhone GPS just yet. Sources are sources and I’m pretty sure E911 doesn’t even need GPS. [GigaOM]

Remember how fast Edge was a year ago? Didn’t you love how the service corroded and ground to a halt as more and more iPhone users came online? Here in Los Angeles, Edge speeds of 23kbps are not unusual in many parts of town. Why won’t this happen again?
iPhones are $600. No — they’re $400. They’re on Edge, no — they’re on G3. They’re destined for two years’ service but we’ll make the carrier so pathetic you’ll have to buy one every year. Enough.
Thrice bitten by Apple, I’m grateful Jobs has given the rest of the industry a kick in the butt, it’s time to hook up with iPhone’s offspring. The games Apple plays! The horror!
