Very cool. That makes sense. Are you sure it's not carrier specific? The reason I ask is because I have 2 phones both with 3g service one on Verizon and one on AT&T. The AT&T android phone can surf the net and what not while on the phone, my Verizon phone and my boss's phones cannot.
That part isn't a huge deal though.

If you use GPS receiver then it's completely different hardware and not interfere with phone radio. However if you want to use cell traingulation instead of GPS receiver then it needs data connection to map cells to certain location. And it of course may be not available when on the call if the situation I formerly described occur -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
