iPhone's 300 Location-based Apps

O'Reilly covered this data provided by Skyhook last week and now Ars Technica takes it on. Recall that Skyhook provides the wi-fi location feature for "old" and "new" iPhones.

Some highlights as of 10/3/08:

- 45% Wi-fi, 25% GPS and 30 Hybrid for location source (good news for Skyhook)

- top categories for the apps: 18% local search, 17% navigation (without turn by turn) and 17% social networking

- both posts include "confidential" in the graphics, though Skyhook gave the permission to use them

Navigation
Why is Apple using the term navigation for their Apps?
As fas as I know the market knows navigation as an application with real time route guidance.

Maybe they use it to confuse the market with their plans for navigation. It is one of the features missing by many users.
