I´m not saying a turn-by-turn navigation app should come as stock, but it should be available for purchase by now, even if it is at 40$... Nokia provides it stock in some of their phones, and WM, iOS and Android all have different options for purchase
What I am saying is that if no developer is bringing one, HP could probably build one and then come to an agreement with some map provider so that we would just need to buy the maps, and maybe Hp get a share of what we pay... What do we need GPS for then? To geo-locate pictures?... ´cause it´s not like we are swimming in geo-locating apps either.
Besides basic apps like a calculator, or a calendar, which of course the OS should include, a navigator is almost as useful as the built-in camera. We all have cameras and Tomtoms, but it´s nice to have them in the phone too. It may be a luxury, but it´s a luxury that a lot of people demands, and other brands are providing it years ago. As a luxury, I´m willing to pay for it.
Anyway, turn-by-turn navigation was just an example (though it´s one of the things I miss the most), but it can be extended to many other things. We don´t even have a decent solitaire yet.
