Apple started off creating innovative computers with innovative software. They then expanded into the portable music player business with the first iPod. In just over a week, Apple will be moving into newer territory: the cellular telephone business. What’s next? GPS systems perhaps?
According to the German magazine, “Focus”, Apple is planning and begun working on a GPS navigation system for cars. In 2009, the device is said to be released, but only available to users of Mercedes branded cars. Six months after release, this GPS system is said to become available to other car models, however.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding GPS navigation in the iPhone because of confirmation regarding Google Map navigation to be included in the device. This story just adds more speculation, and possibly a better chance of us seeing GPS in the iPhone, and possibly future Apple products.
