GPS vs AGPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) vs AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System. Which is better for a mobile phone user. Here’s an attempt to understand:  

Sprint describes how their system is supposed to work from their online FAQ:

Q: What is Assisted GPS? How do you find me if only two satellites are available?

A: To meet the defined industry standards, a precision location fix requires a minimum of three GPS measurements. The term “Assisted” refers to how Sprint network resources are used to provide a more robust measurement when only two satellites are visible.

Precision fix in tens of seconds.

Very High accuracy (typically 5m-50m).

Line of sight to three satellites is not required as in regular GPS technology, but two satellites must be visible for a precise AGPS fix.
GPS chipset required in device. (All Sprint phones sold since Jan 2002 have the GPS chipset. Contact your Sprint account representative for additional information.)

This is why many of us in the forums often cringe when someone suggests that having a standalone SiRFIII chip in a phone is preferable to an aGPS system, although the confusion is quite understandable and that brings us to our next point: the caveats.

iPhone is launched in India

Airtel and Vodafone launch the iPhone 3G in a non-3G country at the ridiculous price of approximately USD 700. Still many will buy it. Mostly from the grey market where it’s cheaper and install a hack. If only cellular service providers in India would realize they could manyfold  increase the data using user-base if they subsidized the handset a bit.

gSync – sync Apple iCal with Google Calendar v1.2.1

About gSync – sync Apple iCal with Google Calendar
Synchronize your Apple iCal calendars with your Google Calendars. This means you can update calendars across all your Macs, keeping everyone (including wifes, husbands and significant others) in ‘sync’ with your calendar.

Synchronization works both ways…e.g. if you make a change in your Google Calendar, it will show up in your Apple iCal and vice versa.

gSync uses Apple’s powerful SyncServices technology (used by iSync, iPhone, and iPods), which means a more complete solution for when you require to update all your Apple devices and software (that supports it).

Also, gSync connects directly with Google Calendar (no 3rd party servers) keeping your data private between you and Google.

- Autosync: define when and at what intervals to update calendars
- Flexibility: use multiple iCal & Google Calendars
- 2 way sync: bi-directional synchronisation
- Privacy: sync directly to Google (no third party server)
- Apple SyncServices: gSync is based on Apple’s SyncServices allowing us to integrate with anything that uses this (e.g. iPhone, iSync, etc…)
- works with multiple Google Accounts
- works with GAFYD (Google for your Domain)

iPhone : First reactions

I finally got to test/run a iPhone. Someone got it from the USA and we unlocked it, in a simple 15 minute process. Google around and you will find tonnes of solutions to unlock the iPhone. Make sure you have WiFi at the place you are unlocking, since part of the process requires accessing the net over the built in Safari Browser.

What I loved:
-> Safari Browser. Awesome. Real fast, efficient, and perhaps better then Opera Mini.
-> Mail. Awesome. Real fast, efficient and a breeze to setup if you have a Gmail, Yahoo! or AOL Account. Else too, easy to setup and use. The mail.app on the iPhone is actually faster than the Nokia E61 inbuilt mail client.
-> Google Maps. Works beautifully.

What I disliked:
-> The keypad. Needs getting used to. I prefer a tactile QWERTY. Also, if you want to type a ‘.’ or other punctuation, you have to go to a different screen and come back to the alphabets
-> Havent figured out a way of forwarding an SMS.
-> lack of J2ME support (though I think the native apps’ performance is beter than the J2ME stuff I use on my Nokia)

What I think should be added : Apple iWorks. This is one suite that should definitely be added as the default app on the iPhone. Also support for FileMaker Pro databases and blackberry connect.

I will write more soon…
