Why the smartphone is the new killer GPS
I recently took a cruise, and drove to the cruise port.
While en route, I encountered construction blockages. Using Google Maps, I quickly routed around the traffic / blockages in real time, all free.

Nav app for Windows Phone 7?
Call me eccentric, but I bought a Samsung Focus (at&t) because I liked the user experience. Android and iPhone icons are too small and cluttered for my old eyes and I joined the "I hate Steve Jobs" club along time ago.

Playbook!?
I'm a blackberry nerd - love my Garmins, but eager to see this guy. Smaller than the iPad (which I think is good), and should easily run most Android Apps (easily run via the Java package) - which I'm hoping means all the google maps goodies. Should make an attractive package - obviously the GPSr will likely be the blackberry though it does have blutooth coverage.

It will be certainly interesting to see how this shakes out when all the federal hurdles get jumped... and politicians "contributed to" in order to garner support...

JUST FYI for people who may have a Garminfone,
