Rafe Needleman interviewed Skyhook’s CEO Ted Morgan on the current state of things location,including FireFox going with Google’s toolkit and not Skyhook’s (not unexpected),the price of turn by turn directions in phones (too high),the need for location brokers like Fire Eagle (too early to know) and how the larger the screen in a device,the poorer the reception.

Furthermore,the bigger the screen of a device,the worse the GPS reception gets. Morgan says,“The bigger screens drown out the GPS signals.”Although when I pressed him as to why,and he claimed to not be technical enough to fully understand it.
