first i have to give major props to these guys as i know GPS is something we really need in our iphones. i really would like to know if it is harder to code something for a bluetooth GPS receiver opposed to a USB one? i personally have a bluetooth one and i use it with all 3 of my macs and in the car too it runs on its "own" battery and i think would be awesome if i could use it with my iphone. so really the question is for simplicity and why not put the time and energy into some like making a serial stack for a bluetooth GPS unit opposed to having cables and hanging out of your phone and a gps unit using your battery. me not being a programmer i really dont know if that is easier or not. it just seem i have this beautiful phone i would rather put a bluetooth unit in my pocket and have the phoen in all its beauty then to have cables and boxes hanging off getting all tangled up.

What a bad idea this is. Imagine if you went on a trip and actually had to use this thing? Having to plug it in and out all the time is a sure way to iFuck your iphone. I bet if you used this on a regular basis you'd iFuck the card-edge connector on the bottom of the phone. It would be more loose than my Cindy's mother after having squirted out 5 fat kids.
Apple...get a grip and go wireless bluetooth GPS!!
