What is version 2.0 of XPS (hybrid positioning system)?

10

Version 2.0 of XPS is a location-determination technology that uses raw location data from GPS, Cellular tower triangulation (Cell ID) and nearby Wi-Fi (802.11) access points to calculate the location of mobile devices, such as laptops, PDAs, and dual-mode phones. That location is then used by devices, applications, and services to deliver a wide-range of location-based services, including local search, advertising, friend finders, navigation, and asset tracking and recovery. For application developers, the SDK of XPS 2.0 will be available in the 4th quarter of 2008.
