Most Cellphones to Have GPS Chips by 2011
By 2011 most handsets sold will include a chipset enabling global positioning (GPS), compared with under 10 percent last year, the founder of the world's largest GPS chipset maker said on Wednesday.
"In the next 5 years it will become a required element for most phones, except for the very, very low end, which are for voice-only usage," said Kanwar Chadha founder of SiRF Technology Holding Inc.
Many handsets in the United States and in several Asian markets are being fitted with GPS locators because regulators demand that they are able to locate persons in need.
