Will APH's NearBy Explorer work on Google's Nexus 7? Just wondering. I don't recall whether or not google's Nexus 7 has a Built In GPS receiver or if Apple's iPad Mini has a Built In Receiver, which will allow users to utilize the venefits of Sendero's Seeing Eye GPS (iOS app). If anybody has the answers to this question, feel free to respond.

providing Microsoft's Mobile PlatForm is
accessible in terms of Text-to-Speech (TTS)
features. The only difference will be the availability of apps offered.

I LOOK Forward to the Freedom to CHOOSE any Mobile PlatForm

How 'bout anybody else??? Just Wondering.
