-- The tracking information does not come from GPS, but from less accurate cellphone tower triangulation. So iPod Touch and iPad's with only WiFi service are not included. Even if you turn off "Location Services," this tracking information is still recorded.

The new micro-cell technologies can, based on density, be more accurate than a non-military GPS signal. TI seems to be banking on these as a solid revenue source.
