GPS and Bluetooth to soon come on one microchip

With space becoming an all-important thing in any cellphone these days, Bluetooth chipmaker CSR will soon introduce a single chip Bluetooth and GPS solution.

This is good news for wireless handset makers, who need to get as many functions on chips these days to save space for...well, nothing.

With handsets becoming so small and so slim these days, the space saved by eliminating chips from a cellphone probably won't be replaced by anything -- except less weight.
