Awesome-sauce: GPS on your iPhone, Now.

In the day’s after its announcement at Macworld and before its run through the FCC test gauntlet, there was a lot of speculation that the final feature-set would include the much coveted GPS feature present on many other devices. Alas, this did not come to be, and the iPhone seemed relegated to being a dumb terminal into which users were forced to manually input their location.

Seemingly out of nowhere, an app called Navizon has shown up in Installer.app, which although it doesn’t magically add a GPS chip to your device, is able to triangulate your location pretty damn well using cell towers. It’s not fast, and it might crash your phone, but its a start, and a damn good one at that.
