iPhone will get genuine GPS feature


Yet another interesting blog from iPhone Atlas here, a man named Steffen Voight discovered that in current iPhone SDK; Apple has included a support for true GPS hardware to the next platform. The emulator found by Voight includes references to NMEA, a data specification for communication between various location sensing devices. Pheew... that's a long line there, for longer ones refer to GPSinformation.org page here.
Is this mean that the next rumored 3G iPhone will include a hardware-based GPS component inside it? I'll say that would be very useful, especially when you're holding Starbucks coffee cups and the other hand is using an iPhone to find the meeting place with clients. ;-p
