Skyhook

Here we go again. First it’s Samsung going with Yahoo services, and now comes word that Motorola’s switching to Skyhook for its location-based services over Google. Devices with the new service will “begin shipping later this year,” Skyhook says, and “will have the ability to better support a new wave of location-aware applications by leveraging Skyhook’s precise, reliable and fast-performing location engine.”

Hey, fair enough. No reason why it shouldn’t be as good or better than Google’s default services, right? [via Engadget]
