IPhone 3G does not have a dedicated GPS chip, and instead uses A-GPS to triangulate it's position, is this the same on the IPhone 3Gs? or does it have a dedidcated GPS chip?

it's not that i didn't do my research. i know A-GPS uses cell triangulation to achieve better satellite tracking as compared to a normal GPS chip. I got confused with a statement on wikipedia which stated that the IPhone 2G has to use it's cell information to determine it's location due to a lack of a build in GPS hardware. Although this is not so in the newer 3G and 3GS due to the A-GPS, but since i know there are so many knowledgeble gurus here, i would just like to clarify or gain a better understanding. there's nothing wrong asking right? Isn't what this forum is for? Anyways thanks for your clarification.

Elusive: Yeah, initially i was in a similiar position as you. Thanks for the info!
