BLOG RSS Verizon to enable GPS on a select few Windows Mobile devices
As any Verizon customer with a Windows Mobile device knows, VZW is notorious for locking down the GPS capability in devices (which is absolutely absurd in my humble opinion).
Instead, the GPS receivers have limited functionality, supporting only Verizon’s navigation software, and not third-party apps such as Google Maps or Live Search.
It looks like Verizon is promising to change that for three new Windows Mobile devices: the Samsung Omnia and Saga and the HTC Touch Pro. The GPS will be unlocked on these devices only some time in the first half of 2009.
Yippeee Ky Yay.
