I'm looking at other forums, and people's activations are starting to work now, like Sean's.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And with the 2.0, Google Maps is pinpointing my location with GPS accuracy. I guess now there's only the one reason to buy a new one. 3G would be nice, buy I think I can wait.

Speaking of GPS, I'm thinking of buying a handheld unit for the drive up to Canada. Renting one with the car would cost be about $120, so I'd like to spend less than $200 if possible. Any recommendations?
(I do have Google Maps on both the iPod Touch and the Treo - any way of using those instead of buying something new?)

You didn't ask.
Anyway, it's not so much pessimism and prudent realism. Honest.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, I've decided not to get an iPhone upgrade after playing with the new software.

Really, I don't see the point if you're a first gen owner. Another year will fly by and then who knows what goodies the 3rd gen will have to offer.

Jessica,
tomtom or garmin are probably the best from what I heard. check out amazon for comparison prices...

Further experimentation with the GPS on 2.0 (with a passenger operator in the car) reveals that it is capable of tracking movement without forcing a new pinpoint (by tapping the "pinpoint" button).
Accuracy suffers a bit while the unit is in motion, but it was quite impressive.
And with multiple pinpoints around town, I was nailing my location within 100 feet or less.

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

Nice.
(Still planning on a 3G, well, eventually -- but that's because I don't have a first-gen to noodle around playing GPS games with.)

I think within about a year, I'll actually get a 3G, but the need to get one this week has abated.
