Is Gps only going to be available with the new phone......or will we get it in the 2.0 update....

INTERNAL GPS will be available ONLY on the iPhone 3G.

HOWEVER ... if Apple's 2.0 firmware provides the SERIAL PORT PROFILE of Bluetooth 2.0, then you could spend $50 for a Bluetooth GPS receiver. It DOES work with Google Maps.

IF SPP is included in iPhone 2.0, then IMO you're better off with a BT GPS receiver than even the internal chip in the iPhone 3G
