Hi Guys,
I am in the market for a new hand held GPS.
Looking at Garmin, Lowrance and AvMap, but just recently found the AnyWhere
Map Software, with using a BlueTooth GPS and Dell Axim Pocket PC.
To me it looks like a great combination of screen size, ease of use and
"ugradebility". Cost certainly not bad either at $399 for the Axim, $95 for
the software and about $85 for a Bt388 GPS. xm Wheather is an available
upgrade too.
Certainly would appreciate some feed back from users.

Wait for the iPhone.



No third party apps. Verizon turned them down. The iPhone is already dead.

I'm not an Apple fan boy but a lot of people said pretty much the same thing
about the iPod.

Different markets. Everybody's phone is already a music player. The
difference is the interface, that's where the iPod scored. But now they
want $500 for a phone and music player combined. And I'm not allowed to
put other programs on it. No way, no how.

I agree the price is silly but it won't hold at that price for long and I'm
not 100% sure it is going to be completely locked as a lot of phones are
because it is going to be running a version of the Mac OS.

And you are right that the interface is what made the iPod a hit and since
I've not really touched the iPhone interface yet we'll have to wait and see.
