Hmm, interesting, it (an ipad wifi) got an awfully good location for me when I was sitting in my house, sure looked like a gps acquisition. Guess I'll have to do more testing, because I'm skeptical it was able to figure that out based on wifi locating. Although I have to admit, in the official specs it definitely says there isn't a gps.
