JSR-000179 Location API for J2ME (Final Release)
Don't know when we'll see actual products coming out from the phone manufacturers, though.

Or will each company have to provide an implementation for their phone sets?
If this is the case, then an application using the location api won't really be portable for a while since none of the companies have an implementation available yet. (except maybe nokia)

Of course, if you have a business agreement with your carrier, you can get your real-time location from their web service via normal HTTP. (The carrier knows how to locate *any phone* in their network for emergency services) That would make location service available to any of today's Java phone. But right now, such business agreement could cost you millions -- so it is only available to big businesses.

Any chance of me getting access to this information as a startup company with a potentially new "killer app"?
Say maybe I explain my app to them and they say "wow, what a great idea. we'll give you access to the location information and you can pay us back later."

Looks like there's another way to access GPS information in Java:

Does anyone know of other ways to do this or have any other resources?

No chance in hell, I'm afraid. Businesses don't do that, especially big ones like mobile operators. Maybe if you give them a significant share of your company in exchange...Originally posted by Keristufer Blaze:
