Pedantically, still the reference implementation, but outside the spirit
and best practice which has evolved over the years. It seems that neither
the iPhone not the iPad run anything resembling the reference
implementation. At least with iOS 5.0.1 my iPad is "only" 1.259 seconds
off, rather than the minutes it was before - making it useless for
satellite passes!
Thanks for your information.
Cheers,
David
