David - I thought QCOM's SnapTrack GPS approach works on GSM/TDMA as well as CDMA. Is the AWE, Cingular and Voicestream use of EOTD just the result of their resistance to paying QCOM for anything?

I would guess that they don't do it because it requires specialized chips which use CDMA technology (GPS is based on CDMA) and no one is producing such chips and the associated software (either basestation or handset). If Qualcomm could have somehow produced a GSM set of SNAPTrak stuff, I suspect it would be a seller.
