On arrival in Orlando (via Cayman Islands) I was giving a ride to a girl who I'd been talking to on the flight. I turned on the unit and.... Nothing. For 15 minutes I got no signal, somehow I managed to piece together the way to her hotel (I know Orlando, but not expertly) and even to mine before the unit started working. Coupled with hurricane style rain and it was an interesting trip to say the least! Silver lining, the fact I got her there with no help made me look better and I've never had a problem with the unit since. Great piece of kit, just slightly bigger and the same weight as an iPod touch

But did you get her number?

What you experienced is normal. The unit was refinding the satellites.

Well standalone GPS prices have come down a lot.

Market isn't willing to pay a premium for these devices.

Plus over time, smart phones will have faster and faster processors compared to something like the 3790, which I hear already has sluggish zooming and panning compared to iPhone 4 running something like Navigon.

Yessir! We went out a bunch the couple weeks I was in Orlando. I wouldn't have offered her a ride if I thought I'd have any problems with my Nuvi. All's well that ends well

Care to expound upon that?

Tabbed browsing with tab configurability, full screen option, able to use modules, download files, dropbox compatible, etc.

Dropbox + 1Password

Two apps that work great together: 1Password (Mac, iPhone, and Windows beta) and Dropbox. Store your credentials in 1Password and sync them among computers and devices.

eWallet is what I use for password safekeeping. It works on various platforms (including iPhone), and you probably can put its datafile into Dropbox.

Has anyone tried the liveATC app where you can listen to tower control? It's cheap and might be fun to have, just curious if anyone's given it a go yet...

Seriously though, congratulations.

Yeah, from what I have seen there isn't too much lag in there either. Fun to sit at an airport and listen to takeoff clearances before they start their roll.

How have you iPad owners divided up the screens? For instance, first screen News apps, second Social Networking, next Travel, etc?

You may want to wait for the iOS 4.2 update before re-organizing your apps.

You will have folder support at that point.

It's suppose to be out some time in November.
