(In general, I think it'd be a far bolder cultural victory to go create their own new thing, rather than focusing on a modest punking of the appstore. I also think that's a much harder task! They do seem to have some interesting innovative distributed systems ideas that could become a powerful next level experience, called DSoftBus. But what an undertaking!)

The way it gets a location so quickly and power-efficiently is by scanning for nearby wifi networks and asking Google's servers where it could be. When you have a splic location lock, it sends its location along with nearby wifi networks to Google so they can update their database.
