Esther, I was under the impression that these sort of gps apps were largely pointless on the touch? I'd love it if I was wrong, but the only way I see this working is if your near a wifi access point? On 22/01/2010, Amber Pearcy wrote: > HI LIst, > > My husband and I were so excited to read about

The thing is, apple aren't exactly known for there cheap prices, so its not going to be in the netbook market. Having a 10 screen makes it to big for a phone imo - you wouldn't really want to hold one up two your ear would you, plus only 1 of the moddels has 3g, so its not going to be a phone. If a
