Hi Frnz,

Can we use CLLocationManager class to determine the position of the user in an iPad app or is it used only for iPhones?

+1  A: 

Yes, it works fine on iPads. However, the location accuracy is based on WiFi only unless it is a 3G iPad which has GPS.

Thanks dude....can u tell me that can we determine the location in an iPod touch also because it also supports WiFi using CLLocationManager and how accurate will it be?

It will vary significantly depending on how many wifi spots can be seen by the device. See [this blogpost](http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2010-04-08-ipad-geo-location-accuracy.html). Location accuracy on an iPod Touch would be the same as a WiFi only iPad.
