locoGPS is the partfoundry GPS solution for the iPhone

Our hearts be still! What you see here is the rendering of partfoundry’s commercial GPS module for the iPhone - encased in a stylish plastic enclosure that should make it a little easier on the eyes. The partfoundry GPS offering has been branded as locoGPS (location and GPS, get it?), and, by the looks of the rendering, has slimmed down on partfoundry’s prototype GPS module.
The $89 locoGPS is still slated for February of next year, just in time for all
those third-party developers to make use of the official Apple iPhone SDK and craft the GPS navigational software that partfoundry is betting on.
Hit the vid below to see the partfoundry locoGPS prototype gettings its nav-on with that SiRF STAR III GPS chip.
