As mentioned a while back it appears that GPS functionality is coming to a cellphone near you... ...but not as an option. IT'S REQUIRED!!! siliconinvestor.com ARM processor cores are currently the dominant choice in mobile telephone handsets, so ARM sublicensing could prove to be a way for GPS technology in mobile phones to help fulfill the United States' E911 requirements. Under the Federal Communications Commission's E911 directive, by October 1, 2001, U.S. wireless carriers must, for at least two-thirds of the time, be able to automatically pinpoint for authorities the location of 911 calls made from cell phones to within 50 or 100 meters. I would love to see all the major cities offer detailed city maps on MMC that can interface with the GPS functionality that will be required in the US. You deposit 20 bucks for the card at the airport and you get $15 back when you return it to the kiosk on the way home. When you arrive to a city like Chicago or San Francisco or Boston you just plug in your MMC and fire up your cellphone/GPS and navigate around the city. Double click on a restaurant's icon and your cellphone dials up for reservations. Double click on a movie theater and order tickets. The applications are endless. Either way it looks like another fabulous application for flash memory. Hey, it could happen! Ausdauer
