Hello,
My first Android-related post!
I recently sold my WiFi+3G iPad with the intention of switching to an Android device. And I decided that the Xoom was the best choice.
I'm clear on everything except GPS.
I've been using a Verizon Fivespot for mobile WiFi access for my laptop. I also used it with my iPad to get GPS with the Motion-X app. Essentially, I purchased a WiFi+3G iPad but never signed up with a 3G service.
With the iPad (or iPad2) you have to purchase a WiFi+3G model for GPS, even if you never plan to use 3G. Always seemed like a waste of money!
By contrast, I see that the WiFi-only Xoom comes with a GPS chip. Great!
OK, but does the WiFi-only Xoom have GPS capabilities equal to the 3G version?
I'm hoping to keep using my Fivespot for WiFi access, along with the Xoom.
I've done some searching, but I can't seem to find a straight answer.
Thanks,
Matthew
