Just remember: People think the HTC performance program actually did something too.
This really does a lot. It brought me from a 5-10 minute lock time, down to about 10 seconds. The IP address basically allows you to combine cell-tower based location services with traditional GPS. This way, your phone knows exactly where to looks for satellites and find more of them faster.
