now one other thing that benefits from
fast data of course is GPS and we've
built that into the new iphone 3g as
well as you know location services is
going to be a really big deal on the
iphone with the iphone 2.0 software you
saw a bit of that here today it's going
to explode and of course we get data
from cell towers location data we get
location data from Wi-Fi and now we also
get it from gps and using the gps data
we can actually do tracking so as an
example here we're going to drive down
we recorded this on Lombard Street
lombard streets of fun street in san
francisco that zigs and zags and here we
are driving down lombard street and we
can actually track as we move using GPS
so it's kind of fun
you get the idea so built-in GPS and
much much faster data so we think we can
check off 3g and add built-in gps to
boots
