GPS Smartphones Generating Renewed Momentum for the LBS Infrastructure Industry
The recent launches of GPS-enabled smartphones with touch screen interfaces such as Apple's iPhone, the BlackBerry Storm, the T-Mobile G1, Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic, and Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 are fueling interest in handset-based navigation and location based services (LBS) despite the worsening economic climate. In turn this drives both third party LBS application development and the roll out of LBS infrastructure by carriers to support the much needed Secure User Plane Location (SUPL)-compliant Assisted GPS functionality. more
