Empire strikes back or Yandex.Maps now determine location without GPS
Most of you are probably aware that last fall Google introduced a mobile version of its Google Maps with the ability to determine an approximate location without GPS at the base stations of mobile operators. A rather convenient function, but its minus is that it works only with Windows Mobile, Symbian and Java (only on Sony Ericsson).

May 13, the version of Yandex.Maps with the same opportunity is officially presented.

As an easy PR, and in search of an investor, I’ll say that I showed a similar softink on the functions last summer :) http://habrahabr.ru/blog/i_am_clever/18819.html
Since then, I wrote this same for iPhone :)
