I'm guessing this is better than stock Google maps on Android, or is this just marketing?  If it's better, does the marketplace have any good offerings? Any help? thanks. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[juanvaldez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2010 7:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin-Asus A10 brings pedestrian-optimized GPS to European and Asian Android lovers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/garmin-asus-a10-brings-pedestrian-optimized-gps-to-european-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/garmin-asus-a10-brings-pedestrian-optimized-gps-to-european-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[@juanvaldez - It is irrelevant.

Did you think they we're going to make a round phone?  All phone manufactures start with pretty much the same hardware parts to choose from when building a phone.  You want a 3-4 inch screen.  Guess what.  Your phone is probably going to be a rectangle.  <br><br>All you people that say they ripped the iPhone need to get over it.  Congratz, to Apple for making a successful phone.  But a phone is more than the sum of its physical shape.<br><br>Gamin makes GPS devices and this phone contains all the maps inside the phone.  No need to connect to a tower to download a map.  No need for a tower to triangulate a guesstimate of where you are.  Your position is calculated from satellites.  Garmin highly customized the user interface to pull addresses out of eMails and navigate to that location.  Location information can be encoded in pictures and can navigate you to that location.  It has all the lane assist functions of a high end Nuvi device.  It has all the "smartphone" features that come with the Android OS that were missing with their first phone(G60).  <br><br>You can dismiss the phone as an iPhone copy but if you would open you eyes you would see that Garmin is going what they do best.  They create navigation devices.  And yes they phones navigation is far superior to an iPhone or any other phone on the market.  It’s their niche, its what they do.  So give a little credit to theese peeps.  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2010 11:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin-Asus A10 brings pedestrian-optimized GPS to European and Asian Android lovers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/garmin-asus-a10-brings-pedestrian-optimized-gps-to-european-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/garmin-asus-a10-brings-pedestrian-optimized-gps-to-european-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Engadget's criteria for KIRFs appears to be "does it come from China?"
