It'll never happen because apple is a money grubbing whore and wont spend more money for a 4.3" screen when they can get away with selling the same 3.5 or whatever and have 100 million people buy the damn thing. I am seriously getting more pissed off at apple everyday. First with that bullshit iPhone 3GS that looks EXACTLY like the goddamn 3G. They they totally screw everyone who wants a 13" macbook pro by keeping old processors in it instead of updating them, assholes.... ]]>Apr 19th 2010 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/
Haha, right you guys, because Apple seen the Prada phone and somehow built it from scratch in the short time between their releases. Perhaps you guys also missed the fact that the iPad leak from a few months ago clearly shows the 4g iPhone prototype in the back coupled with the patent Apple received on the new iPhone ceramic backing years ago means they had this design in mind for quite some time. To me it looks like the iHaters are seriously threatened by the new iPhone so they're desperately grasping at whatever they can to minimize its presence. If only you guys could make it less obvious then it wouldn't look so sad. ]]>Apr 19th 2010 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/lol. what's sad is your pathetic post. what the hell is wrong with you apple apologists?]]>Apr 20th 2010 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Apr 19th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/Lets hope they add Google Search and dont forget to throw in MP3 Playback....]]>Apr 19th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/garmin-nuvi-3700-series-breaks-the-gps-mold-uses-another-mold-i/
But yes, the MP3 thing needs serious attention. There's no reason that a device like this can't totally replace an iPod, if they could just field a competent UI.

Lol, as I typed it, I realized how misleading the 4g was. I was actually using it to refer to the fourth generation iPhone.
