As others have said, I wouldn't hold your breath. I think the original email several months ago from Steven Schwed at VZW was the first "semi-official" notice we had re. Verizon's plans to unlock the GPS via a ROM update in the "first half of 2009".
I don't have his email in front of me, but basically Steven said that they would be opening up the
unassisted GPS to third-party software, while continuing to provide their own (proprietary) products to leverage aGPS with the proper security, etc. In other words, if you want aGPS, you pay $10/month and suffer with the lousy VZ Navigator (or whatever they might come up with to replace it).
Does anyone have Steven's email handy to confirm exactly what he said?
