I wonder how much battery power this will use from the iPhone handset when connected?

When ever they do released a iPhone V2, I sure Apple won't be making any substantially product update changes on current iPhone, Apple to here to make money hence I believe they will only add small features on next generation iPhone just to keep the money flowing, just take a look at current iPods out there, where they many huge feature updates between each generation?

"But...sirf star III ,no sirf star II as Nokia and dont forget, in Nokia N95 the slide must be opened to have good reception."

Who told ya, that Nokia uses SiRF chipsets? Nokia uses TI chipset and with newest firmware and A-GPS its very quick and accurate. (I have also SiRF STAR III BT GPS to compare and the difference is nearly none)

just have 2 questions.....
wouldn't it cost $90 for the gps module and some more for gprs data transfer?
what if you need to charge your phone during using the gps...wouldn't a bluetooth connection would be better(if possible)

Another external device that we have to carry on us to get the GPS working...it's like the Sony HGE-100 GPS enabler, it's an external device too! We want ALL-IN-ONE! Maybe the iPhone 2 will have the GPS included in it!
