Motorola [mobile phone manufacture] and CSR [provider of GPS solutions to mobile phone manufactures] teamed up to create the EGPS forum to improve the speed of acquisition as well as the accuracy of GPS in mobile phones. Benchmarks for performance will be created by the end of the first half of this year and the forum is open to “a broad array of participants from the telecommunications industry that will include handset makers, LBS companies, network infrastructure manufacturers, as well as carriers.”

He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you!
