The thing is you do not need cellular antennas to use many of the GPS APPs. I turn off my 3G antenna on my iPhone and am still able to use many of my navigation APPs
After seeing these posts I looked on my iPhone to see if there is any GPS setting, like there was on my Android phone -- you can turn GPS on or off on the Android, in iOS, it is always on. And there are no setting for it.
The only thing you missed is that I put fingers in gear before brain was fully engaged.
Damned if I know what he meant now.

GPS is actually always off (as it consumes too much power) it is turned on automatically whenever an application requests location services. To disable it completely just turn the location services off.

Here is an article which explains how the WIFI only GPS works.
Where GPS won't do, WiFi triangulation might

Hmm! That's interesting!
I see how this Wi-Fi triangulation might work in big cities. But it probably won't be of much help in less populated areas.

Did you hear that whooshing sound?
It was the sound of almost $1,100 flying out of my wallet.
Got it ordered. Boy, those bells and whistles add up quick. And that partridge!
Order said "for delivery on March 16" and I hope that's accurate. I'm sending it to my office. It will be a difficult weekend if delivery is delayed until the following week. Haven't got the confirming email yet, though.
Now- can I keep my big mouth shut until it shows up? I think she forgot there was a press conference today, probably is thinking nothing can be done until March 16. Best not to get excitement built up before then.
I wonder if they're going to set another record for pre-orders?

I installed iPhoto for my iPhone/iPad -- played with it on the iPhone at a meeting, pretty cool. Need to install 5.1 on my iPad first.
Minors tweaks, but on the iPhone, it brings the ability to launch the camera from the lock screen. The iPad one is installing now. Well, it is downloading anyways.

Took only about 5 minutes to download to my 4S. Took around 20-30 to download to my iPad 1
Thanks. Since I can already do these things with my Cydia tweaks, there is really no need for me to upgrade to 5.1 yet until the new JB for it comes out.We can now delete photo stream photos

Tried out iPhoto on the ipad 2. Very nice. Runs smoothly. Great application for the iPad.
