Still reading the article, but it doesn't sound like it relies on WAAS. Something about a new set of "L5" satellites or something.
FAA would never allow it, but I wonder if you could do an LPV approach with one of these on a tablet...
today Broadcom announced that it is sampling the first mass-market chip that can take advantage of a new breed of global navigation satellite signals and will give the next generation of smartphones 30-centimeter accuracy instead of today’s 5 meters. Even better, the chip works in a city’s concrete canyons, and it consumes half the power of today’s generation of chips.
