Ha! I'm reading here, and waiting for Pete to call me. Because he will.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Hey. New board.
Doesn't it already have Google Maps?
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. :)

The big news, is $399 to $199 -- we think we can check off more affordable.
Does this mean there will be a 32GB version as well?
I could probably get away with 8GB if I only put podcasts on it. I still have a 16GB Touch and a 30GB classic to hold the entire library for long trips...
