Sidekick to get GPS
A job posting over at Danger shows that they are looking to include GPS functionality in an upcoming device. Don’t expect this to be included like the new Sidekick-killer Helio Ocean, but rather the implementation seems to be via Bluetooth. The posting is for an intern and reads, "Formalize the Java Native Interface and glue layer for binding the BT serial support as a GPS provider of data." While the Sidekick 3 has been out for 11 months now, it seems a bit lackluster in terms of features when compared to some of the newest phones like the Ocean, Wing, and N95. GPS is one of the many features we’d like to see on the newest release of one of our favorite phones. Now if Helio would just fix a couple bugs…Helio OTA! Helio OTA! Helio OTA!
YES!! HELIO OTA!!!
HELIO OTA!!!!!!
Yes OTA! HAHAHA
