So assuming this is not more misinformation or technological confusion, this appears to be the first (some-what) official acknowledgement by Sprint, which is quite significant and it jives well with other information.

Update: Mogul ROM Update to be Released Oct 22nd?

October 9, 2007 12:16 PM
File under Rumors

It is now being rumored from DaSuper, a Sprint employee, over at The Buzz that Sprint will be releasing it’s first major ROM upgrade for the Mogul this month that will hopefully address the serious BT issues that have plagued the Mogul since it’s release. There is a lot of hope this will be fixed (if the ROM is truly released) as the Alltel homegrown port of their ROM version of the their PPC-6800 seems to fix all the BT issues all of us Mogul users face every day.

Rant: gpsOne is Not GPS

August 14, 2007 2:29 PM
File under Editorials , Featured

Pardon my rant: I joined in the crowd talking about the FCC approval of the ho-hum HTC Iris because it’s out there in the blogosphere and we here at WMExperts are super hip with the blogosphere, natch. I’m seeing it reported that the Iris has GPS.

Google Maps - Playing GPS Catchup on Other Devices

May 25, 2007 11:10 AM
File under Articles

A story is making the rounds that Google Maps Mobile now supports GPS. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I've been using GPS in conjunction with Google Maps Mobile on my Windows Mobile devices for awhile now. Since February. Heck, I even posted a Valentine's Day Video detailing how to set up Google Maps with a Bluetooth GPS puck. So congrats to you, Blackberry 8800, for getting GPS support in Google Maps Mobile. It's almost like your OS offers quality 3rd party app support and development. Almost. > *Google's mobile maps software will now use the GPS capability of many newer handsets (with GPS carrier support) to pinpoint your location and make directions and navigation just that much nicer.*

GPS Nav. for the Blind

March 20, 2007 10:12 AM
File under Articles

It’s Symbian-only right now, but I have an extremely difficult time believing a similar app couldn’t be written for Windows Mobile: It requires just two dedicated keys on the mobile phone - one which, when pressed, tells the user their exact location including the house or building number and the other one alerts the call centre that the person needs assistance with navigation. The next stage, the call from the call center, involved being given step by step directions from a human being in real time.

If your WM Phone has GPS on it, this little app can run in the background and listen for a certain SMS message - the one you send it asking where the heck it is - to which it auto replies with GPS coordinates. They recommend using it for lost or stolen phones, but I MobileJustice is a freeware anti theft application for Windows Mobile 5.0 based devices that allows you to monitor and search your mobile phone via GPS coordinates.The application consists of four modules:1.
