AGPS or: Global Locate's Marketing debunked

[Vinh]

I think Roberto is totally right here. I'm just a simple user who
happens to also be a geek.
Even though some people might not see it this way, but design and
hardware specifications matter to the enduser. And that again matters
whether FIC will continue supporting the platform.
