geo-location doesn't work on Android 2.1 and IE9 but it works on Firefox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open Internet Explorer 9 or Android 2.1 browser
2. http://html5demos.com/geo
3. it asks for permission on IE9 but then... Finding your location: failed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected it to actually work

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 2.1, Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

The GeoLocation provided by this site, or Gears, or the W3C standard never 
works on my Android 2.1 Xperia X10, or on Internet Explorer 9. But it works on 
Firefox. Check it for yourself at http://html5demos.com/geo for a simple 
example.

Sometimes on Android 2.1, if I have GPS turned on, the test page doesn't fail, 
seems like it's searching for the satellite but then nothing happens, on 
Firefox it gives me the Lat and Long values. Other times, on Android, it gives 
me the message: The Last Provider Was Disabled or something alonge those lines. 
On IE9 it never works as well. Can someone help me? Thanks.

by the way, at the browser options, I have the option to enable access to a 
user's location enabled.

For what it's worth, I'm using Android 2.2 and I have GPS enabled and when I 
hit that website it showed I was about a mile away from my current location.

The accuracy of the location depends on the options specified, the OS and the 
cellular and GPS context of the phone itself.  The library itself is not 
influencing the results at all, its a mere middleman.
