[edit] Date of write??
Nei: Why is this at the top of the page? I haven't seen this in other articles nor seen any articles about it being a new addition to each page. I'm going to revert and ask that you explain here. No hard feelings but it doesn't look correct.Davandron | Talk 22:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page Rewrite
I have added some definitions , but still this page is just a copy paste from SiRF website, wich is advertising
I rewrote this page based largely on documentation from SiRF's website that is referenced in the article. --Nick 09:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SiRFstar III "channels"
Regarding "20 channels", I've found a web forum post by a SiRF employee that explains in great detail how the SiRF III chip implements channels, as the tracking engine can search the contents of the signal buffer for one satelite at a time, and can do this over 20 times before the next buffer load of signal arrives. Here's the link, it's the post from Carl, dated 04/08/2005 - 21:55:11. It's a fascinating inside look at the technology, and might belong in the SiRF III article. Unfortunately, I can't find a good way of citing this as a source. Any ideas? -- Tomlouie | talk 21:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Problems with the chip"?
I don't understand the need for this section in the article. To me, a problem with a chip would be like the Pentium CPU chip math bug. All GPS chips have to content with multipath issues. I'd like to see citations that state that the SiRFstarIII has a problem with multipath anymore so that any other GPS chip. The many reviews I've read of GPS units with the SiRFstarIII all praise the chip. -- Tomlouie | talk 14:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GSM and 3G
I am new to using the Wiki, and English is not my native language, so I will not edit the article, but I know as a fact, that the part about GSM and 3G is false. Some units with Sirf III may include this function, but it is not a part of the chip set.
- I just read this for the first time and I agree, the chipset itself doesn't have any special cell phone capacity (although from what I understand it can be pre-loaded with data to cut down on the search window size the correllators need to run). Will edit. Davandron | Talk 15:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
