Most modern smartphones sport a GPS. iPhone is an exception, but that’s about to change. Or at least we hope that will be the case…
According to GigaOm’s sources, the new iPhone sports a GPS and “the contract has been nailed down by Broadcom, a relatively new entrant into the GPS market,” which had acquired Global Locate in July of last year.
Of course this is everything but an official information, hence we’re posting it under our rumors section. Again, I want to believe there’s some merit to these words and that those containers have what it takes. WWDC couldn’t come fast enough…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
