GPS-less iPhone in Egypt; What will Chinese iPhone not have?
Back in October I noted that Egypt (among others) has a ban on GPS (except with a special license). Apparently Apple removed the GPS capabilities to sell the phone in Egypt (at a much higher price than in other areas). Now the question becomes what to do in China? A deal might include revenue sharing with the government and removal of GPS and wi-fi.

If you've read enough NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas Data Collection Stories
consider this one from ChinaView that profiles changes seen by an engineer of the army mapping service in that country.
