Wow! What a toy! Watch
Just looking at some of the spec and it has mapping of sorts, it has bluetooth, and it has internet connection. Can I see next gen GPS TMC thingy here? :D
Only snag though! Wapping £300+ price tag. Available end of year.
Any chance of a reveiw any time soon Mike?

Looks good, but wouldnt you get some sort of stylus to look through what you want, all those finger marks on there would soon get on your nerves  |

The point of the iPhone is you don't need a Stylus. Some clever techy stuff means you can be really accurate with just a finger. See CLICK HERE
| Quote: | | Because of its reliance on this capacitive material, the iPhone works only if you touch it with your fingertip -- it won't work if you use a stylus or wear non-conductive gloves. |
Also another first is the ability to be able to touch more than one section at a time. See CLICK HERE |

| you just lose track at times, you buy yourself a top of the range phone just to discover that a few months down the line an even topper of the range one comes in. Its the same with PC's One that over 3 years old is classed as obsolete :o |

But thats the way the market goes with everything. Clothes, Sat Nav, cars, toys, etc etc.

I only ever say a PC is obsolete if it doesn't do what someone wants it to do. An avid gamer will need the latest kit to play the latest games so upgrading is importnant. I have customers who still e-mail, surf the internerd and track household expenses on 7 year old PCs. Another customer runs his business on an 8 year old PC..... |

The current iPhone lacks 3G and does not have GPS, it just has a Google Maps plug-in.
O2 appear to have won the exclusive rights to this phone in the UK, available before Xmas and allegedly will have 3G by then.
Looks great!

Like ladies footware, which has to be updated on a twice weeky basis, to keep up with current tech.
Imagine a lady with 7 year old shoes! 8O

My wifes computer is at least 10 years old, but she is more than happy, as it still runs her small games, office and e-mails, it has been updated with broadband and surprisingly runs ok on XP.

But it does have bluetooth! Could it be compatable with a bluetooth GPS reciever?

Looks good, but with O2 I wouldn't want to use the internet connection for much though their prices are sheer stupidity when compared to other service providers.
I will stick with the Artemis which can be "dressed up" and appear as a chameleon when it comes to the user interface - Mike |

My computer still strong for near 4 years now, no problem at all. 8)
Everyone's kept saying zillion times about broadband speed 
"I want a 78Mbps faster speed to download the movies quicker like china got that". 
Crazy world eh  |
