GPS is coming with the new iPhone

by New York Computer Help on May 31, 2008

The new iPhone is expected to be released in late June.  Guess what it might have?  GPS!  That’s right, finally a phone with everything.  Email, pictures, music, Internet, and a GPS system.  This news was recently leaked that a third party software, Broadcom, will be including an internal GPS chip inside of the new iPhone.

If GPS is part of the new iPhone, Garmen among other popular GPS products will certainly lose sales.  GPS units have become smaller over time versus their once clunky interface.  However, consumers would rather just have, and finally, an all-in-one phone that can do it all along with finding your way around town.

Broadcom, the manufacturer for iPhone’s GPS chip, has produced many internal wireless and LAN cards for Windows and Mac computers.  They have been trusty source for Internet internal modules as well as Bluetooth chips.  They would serve as a trustworthy source for GPS chips in the iPhones.

No formal press release has been made for the GPS chips as we are surely anxiously waiting.
