With WWDC a little more than a week away, what could be more important than the 3G iPhone? Say if world peace is #1 then the 3G iPhone is an easy #2.

NO phone will ever replace the PND.

I've tried pretty much every GPS brand on the market (Gramin, Tomtom, Naivgon, HP, etc..). I currently use a Tomtom GO920.

Why haven't I tried the Dash? Two reasons..

First, the size. When I leave my car I like to take my GPS with me. There is no way that thing would fit in any pocket.

Two is of course the cost. Paying a monthly fee for the use of FREE GPS is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. If you read some of the reviews on amazon the traffic feature is not very accurate any way. ]]>Jun 1st 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/
If you've ever tried finding something using the useless POI database on most GPS units, you'll know that having access to a search engine on the road is awesome.

Also; you don't NEED to subscribe, you can chose to let it lapse after the 3 month trial and just use it as a day to day GPS unit. But it's the online services that IMHO make the Dash so impressive.

That said; dropping the price by another $100 so close after launch is worrying.]]>Jun 1st 2008 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/
Rumor has it that the 3G iPhone will be such an important source of nutrition that it's no wonder the milk manufacturers are scared.


P.S. Since when has GPS been "cutting edge"? Sure, Apple will present their GPS as "amazing" and "unique", but unless Steve Jobs launched his own GPS satellites, it'll be the same old boring GPS found on almost any decent smartphone besides the current iPhone.]]>Jun 1st 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/Jun 1st 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/Jun 1st 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/Jun 1st 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/Jun 1st 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/Jun 2nd 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/

Lastly to the guy who loves his dash but is worried about a 100$ price drop. No one said they dropped the price, it could be amazon sale, or a mistake. but didnt apple lower the price of the iphone by $100 shortly after its release? Some of you really just make stupid comments without thinking anything through. ]]>Jun 1st 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/
I think you should be bent over, your "cheeks" spread far and wide and then cayenne pepper laboriously rubbed into it while a colony of red fire-ants are invited to the occasion.

It is lights out for all these guys in 24 months (Dash, Garmin, Tomtom, etc)....plus Apple's crowdsourcing with be far more effective and accurate with a larger population to sample from.

Alas, like most people so far, I can't help myself.

Just in case some of you are actually serious about cell phones replacing automotive GPS units, here's a scenerio.....

You have no idea where you are and your cell phone rings, or you need to be on the phone - what then...genius? Cell phone GPS units are novelties. They're great to use outdoors for gps treasure hunts, hiking, etc. They may somewhat replace PORTABLE GPS units, but it's stupid to even consider them replacing real bonafide specialized vehicle GPS units, for the plain fact that it takes away the, subconscious use of your phone.

Both already tend to be a distraction...having them in the same package and using them for both purposes at once, will be detrimental. Anyway, lets wait and see if the Iphone whatever will 'kill ]]>Jun 2nd 2008 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/dash-express-now-300-on-amazon/
