The Wireless 700 add-on combines both an internal GPS card from Broadcom and Wi-Fi triangulation technology from Skyhook Wireless to find its own location, which allows it to operate both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, Wi-Fi access points are used to determine the location via their respecti... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/01/dell.mini.10.to.get.gps/ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/20/iphone.trumps.in.gps.apps/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/iphone3g-maps.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Location-aware iPhone apps not only outnumber their BlackBerry counterparts by 40 to 1 but are less expensive as well, Skyhook Wireless said Wednesday. Best known for the Wi-Fi positioning used to help the iPhone, the company notes that there were 2,300 iPhone apps with location-finding as a major feature and just 57 in BlackBerry App World. By contrast, Android Market had more still at 300.

The company produces software which unites GPS, Wi-Fi and cellular information in order to deliver location data; the technology is integrated into the iPhone, which it notes is amassing a dramatically escalating number of location-based apps. Whereas only a few dozen existed in August of last year, there are ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/27/iphone.moves.location.tech/ Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/30/skyhook.xps.2.tracking/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/iphone3g-maps.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Skyhook Wireless on Monday launched a new map positioning system that will potentially solve many of the problems associated with GPS navigation today. While the company has already designed a system that can alternate between real GPS and rough triangulation using cellular towers and Wi-Fi, a new method nicknamed XPS 2.0 can combine multiple services at once to find a position even in poor condi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/30/skyhook.xps.2.tracking/ Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/12/eye.fi.home.and.explore/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/eye-fiexplore.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Eye-Fi this morning rolled out two new SD camera cards that alternately expand and curb the limit of their wireless technology. The Eye-Fi Explore builds in support for map positioning using Skyhook's triangulation of Wi-Fi hotspots and will automatically geotag photos saved to the camera wherever the card can identify its location; it also gets free access for one year with Wayport-owned wireles... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/12/eye.fi.home.and.explore/ Mon, 12 May 2008 13:15:00 GMT
