And another GPS-based service, from Nokia this time

Rating: not that much quicker location

Nokia has launched a service that it claims will speed up the process of a GPS-enabled pinpointing its whereabouts. The world’s biggest handset maker reckons this will create new opportunities for location-based online services.

Yeah, but it’s still not fast enough (reducing the time taken from three minutes to one, which is an eternity when you’re waiting) and also, it’s only available on the N95, so all the rest of us don’t care that it uses technology embedded on the SIM card either.
