Galileo GPS chips ready years before the network becomes operational

[CEATEC 2008] I haven’t paid attention to the development of Galileo recently (it’s the European, improved, version of GPS) but I thought that it was not due to be (fully) deployed before 2013 or so (this has been delayed several times). For those who hope to use this network soon, be assured that the Galileo-compatible GPS chips do exist – which is weird, given that there won’t be any mass-market for years to come. More about Galileo.
