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.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, taking the firmware plunge...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The Safari randomly crashing issue still isn't fixed for me, which is a bit annoying.

Hmm... Not happy to hear that, Kev. Hasn't crashed on me yet, but I'm sure I'll put it through its paces.

so, the Firefox thing. Other than sticking it to the Microsoft man, why should I use it? I'm currently on IE7 on XP.
