Guess the new iPhone will not only come with 3G connectivity, but it will additionally gain GPS navigation capabilities courtesy of Broadcom. According to gigaom, that is made possible due to FCC requirements that requires all phones be capable of reporting their locations in case of emergencies. No notion whether the hardware included from Broadcom will enable door-to-door navigation,

but to moment the company already has individual chip A-GPS solutions like the BCM4750. Keep your fingers crossed, boys and girls, it seems the new iPhone will have more than meets the eye.
