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.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

Hey. New board.

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.

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

I've had googlemaps integration and GPS on my Helio since I got it in August (though admittedly, the rest of it, and the interface, is not nearly as pretty as the iPhone), and it is quite nice. Though I also like having a real keyboard. OTOH, I've had it almost a year now.
But when my contract is over, I'll probably get an iPhone, yes. :)
