You folks just hit the nail on the head on why I no longer work in the
music/radio industry. What you may find via Google on this subject
matter is only about 10-15% of what *really* happens in the industry.
I pretty much have to now resort to holding back what I can/or will say
on this subject(NDA!) but I will shed a little bit more light on this
and then I'm done.
Let's say a CD costs the consumer $15. You already know that the artist
is LUCKY to even see 20 cents off each CD sold. So where does the
majority of the other $14.80 go??? If you guessed marketing, you
guessed right. Now ask yourself, what is music *marketing* and why does
it appear to cost a lion's share?

No argument on the Apple front, but from what I've seen, Verizon would
likely have wanted to cripple the iPhone as much, or maybe more, than
Apple.
I'd guess that Verizon would only want the iPhone to work as an iPod if
the music was bought through and downloaded via Verizon. Same thing
with transferring pics and such back and forth...

Or, as those of us in the real would read it, Apple did indeed go to
Verizon first and were turned away. Of course you wouldn't possibly be
able to see that through those Cingular-colored glasses you always seem to
wear.

Which has not been refuted by Apple or anyone else in the industry. This
would take it from 'spin' and put it in the 'real news' category.
Face it, Novice- you cheerlead for the second choice and not the first
pick.

Heh Jack, I figured you wouldn't answer my question about why you continue
to post here. Coward.
GPS *or* triangulation is required, as I understand it, and Cingular may use
triangulation instead of GPS.

Re: Apple iPhone is GSM - GPS ?
There is a difference between the GPS that can be used to control one of
those magic map and routing systems versus the locator technology mandated
by E911. I'm not sure about the tech details, but my Treo 700p has a little
crosshair icon on all the time and is compatible with Sprint's "family
locator" feature, yet I can't use the TeleNav feature without the purchase
of additional hardware.

No- SOME way to locate the phone if it calls 911 is required, but it
doesn't have to have a "GPS." AT&T and other GSM carriers use a tower-
location system (a sort of advanced version of triangulation.)
This means AT&T knows where the phone is, but the phone doesn't. A few
GSM phones have actual satellite GPS modules built in (HP 6915, Nokia N95)
but the iPhone isn't one of them.
While CDMA carriers (like Sprint annd Verizon) use a GPS-based system
with a bit more accuracy, theirs is also network dependant- their phones
don't know where they are either, unless you pay to receive that
information from the carrier.

Yep, same with my 650. Weird that--at least in my tests--the family locator
service seems to be about as accurate as my dedicated GPS. Granted I haven't
done much testing other than while stationary, but I recently did a test
within my house. After I turned off street-lock on my GPS it showed its
location roughly on the property line with my neighbor, if not over in the
neighbor's yard (hard to tell with just a map). With family locator I could
see each of my Sprint phones and they appeared almost exactly where they
were positioned inside the house, including mine which was sitting right
next to the GPS.
Moreover, with family locator my Treo 650 doesn't seem any less accurate
than the Katanas that are also on my plan. Yet TeleNav supports the
standalone Katanas but not the Treo. Seems odd since if I had to buy a
separate GPS for my Treo I would probably buy some sort of onboard mapping
software that didn't require cell service to work.

Huh? This needs explanation. GPS works by triangulation, so I don't
understand your distinction here.

Actually, the method used is trilateration. Triangulation measures angles
and trilateration measures time delay (distance).
