This is mainly for people who will need it in more rural areas. Most phones only cover cities, which obviously is pointless when your on top of a mountain (or hill/fell). Also, most phones or normal GPS devices would probably break within a few hours. Few people also seem to have noticed that it can run off AA batteries, which is a god send! (for this type of device).
For those comparing it to phones (the iPhone seems to be a favorite), don't bother, they occupy different markets (there places that aren't urban and yes, they do matter).
PS The people who compare iPhones to everything, just seem to want to say anything but what the "great/beloved/whatever else" Apple produce. Damn, I hate fan boys.
