[Geowanking] iPhone Geolocating technology?

[Kevin Elliott]

Although, that seems like it would be true if it was the first kid on 
the block. But this market has been thick for a while now. They will 
make sales just on the basis that they are Apple, that the device/UI is 
sexy looking, and that it is "lucratively" priced just outside of the 
reach of the average blue collar hands. But by no means do I think 1 in 
10 will buy it. Have you seen Google Maps or Virtual Earth over 
GPRS/EDGE? Ugh. UMTS/HSDPA is incredible.
