Can mobile devices support Geolocate API v3?

[summerap]

Regard the subject, I tried on the mini opera, android browser,
symbian browser, and Iphone browser.
Only the Iphone can support my geolocate google maps API v3. Can
somebody tell me why other cannot support it?
Thank you.

And I found that the geolocate sample code below provided by Google
also cannot work in mobile devices.

Different mobile vendors are doeing their own thing - like Google's
Chrome doesn't support the standardized Geolocation API yet but still
uses Gears instead.

The following library tries to combine geolocation support for the
most different mobile platforms plus desktop browsers - as far as I
know

// Try W3C Geolocation (Preferred)
if(navigator.geolocation) {
browserSupportFlag = true;
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
initialLocation = new
google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude);
map.setCenter(initialLocation);
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
});
// Try Google Gears Geolocation
} else if (google.gears) {
browserSupportFlag = true;
var geo = google.gears.factory.create('beta.geolocation');
geo.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
initialLocation = new
google.maps.LatLng(position.latitude,position.longitude);
map.setCenter(initialLocation);
}, function() {
handleNoGeoLocation(browserSupportFlag);
});
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
} else {
browserSupportFlag = false;
handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
}


Why this geolocate sample code telling W3C is preferred?
Which is the most suitable to support mobile devices and also used for
desktop browser in the same time?

Because this is the standard.

Why don't you try it?

As I said: Different mobile vendors uses different devices, different
browsers uses either the standard Geolocation API, Gears or none of it
at all.
