Since the playbook will have a GPS hopefully by the time the 4G playbook comes out, it can be done via GPS if that is on the device. However, if there is no GPS, I would like to use WI-FI to do IP to location and I am having no luck using a javascript W3C and google gears approach.

Lol. Mike Kirkuk said yesterday that the geolocation and camera APIs work on the device, just not in the sim. I know that doesnt help you but he also said that we would receive a gold master edition of the SDK before launch (rumors say on march 31).

Yep, make sure you are using the 0.9.4 SDK and put the permission in the blackberry-tablet.xml, but even with all this, the default location that it responds with is somewhere in canada. It doesn't update and stays static with the default location.
I am really confused as to how they will have GPS without the radio as a non-assisted gps device would eat through batteries like no ones business as well as be a considerable cost. There is a reason no one adds non assisted gps to anything except dedicated devices.
