I'm just smarting 'cos it's not for the N900 (yet?).
Really....? Thats interesting! Not in a negative way, I'm just trying to understand.
So whats your thought on the quality of the nav program? Doesn't that come into play? If the software just barley works, is it still worth it? Is it still a big deal? Once again....just find it interesting and looking for an honest response.

On a side note: I read an article about Googles GPS Map nav and it basically said its ok to use sometimes. That it does not make a good main Nav system. So once again...Even though its free, It does not make me want to rush out and get it. I'm sure Apple will be doing the same soon. Its kinda funny seeing them team up with MS again.

My personal idea of what would be huge would be the amount of functionality it has, and how it has an impact on making my life that much easier. The N900 has a lot of hardware that could do amazing things and be very useful/helpful. (I think skype integration was a good idea....now it just needs to be fixed.)Its just there's not much to take advantage of it yet. I dont care what the device looks like...I want to know...what can it do for me. Ok I'm running in circles here...lol sorry about that.
