Our hearts be still! What you see here is the rendering of partfoundry’s commercial GPS module for the iPhone - encased in a stylish plastic enclosure that should make it a little easier on the eyes. The partfoundry GPS offering has been branded as locoGPS (location and GPS, get it?), and, by the looks of the rendering, has slimmed down on partfoundry’s prototype GPS module. The $89 locoGPS is still slated for February of next year, just in time for all those third-party developers to make use of the official Apple iPhone SDK and craft the GPS navigational software that partfoundry is betting on. Hit the vid below to see the partfoundry locoGPS prototype gettings its nav-on with that SiRF STAR III GPS chip. partfoundry ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Partfoundry confirmed to be making GPS module for iPhoneiPhone to get a GPS in 2008Apple iPhone GPS software maker offering refunds on NavizonTI introduces NaviLink 5.0, industry's smallest GPS single chip solutionFree iPhone un-bricking solution released - downgrade your iBrick v1.1.1 to iPhone v1.0.2

With the TomTom GPS iPhone module’s future in serious doubt , it seemed like the beautifully huge multi-touch screen in the iPhone would never see its full glory as a GPS receiver. Lo and behold, partfoundry has taken up the task of bringing a legit iPhone GPS plug-in module to market. We’re hearing that a February 2008 launch in in the cards - just in time for the iPhone SDK . The partfoundry GPS module is set to deliver 16 channels of satellite positioning and will work with any GPS navigational software that you choose. Of course, this means that partfoundry will be looking to third-party iPhone software developers to bring a workable GPS navigation application to market - but with a healthy dev-community already in place and the SDK slated to come out soon, we’re not worried about that part. What we are worried about is that hideous looking module you see above. A nice sleek cover is a must for anyone outside the geek-chic crowd. Partfoundry is taking pre-order for $89, so if you just can’t delay that need for gratification, head on over to their site and order yours today. Check out the video of the partfoundry prototype in action. partfoundry ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:TomTom developing GPS module for iPhone?Samsung SGH-i617 BlackJack II confirmed with integrated GPS - available Black FridayiPhone to get a GPS in 2008GPS location data on your iPhone - kinda, sortaGoogle GPhone confirmed to be manufactured by HTC
