That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm flipping back and forth between macrumorslive and tuaw -- none of them seem to be doing that much better than the others this time.

3G we knew (but its lack is one of the things that's kept me from getting an iPhone). GPS is no big surprise after nearly all the non-game apps were all about location awareness. Also want to know what more affordable means, steve.

Hey. New board.

Mmm. GPS. That's my killer feature right there. Now all I need is for somebody to make an application that integrates Yelp.com, Google Maps, and that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Doesn't it already have Google Maps?

[eta: The image they're displaying to go with the "GPS!Yay" announcement is a Google Map, so I'm guessing it's all integrated. Dunno about Yelp.]

Ha! I'm reading here, and waiting for Pete to call me. Because he will.

Yes. It's integrating it with Yelp that is crucial. Sort of like a super-Vindigo, with my choice of restaurant/bar information-source (Yelp), and without requiring me to even select my current location.

Steve dropped the Ultimate Earworm. I'm feeling for the live audience, except for the part where I'm not.

That is more affordable.

I'd rather have regular Google Maps Search integration than a third-party directory like Yelp. (Yelp in particular drives me crazy because its entries are so randomly keyworded. It's helpful if I have an hour or so to pare down the entries to just the helpful ones, nsm on-the-go.)

199 8GB!!!! Oh I am so getting one.
