    Paired it with my Garmin Nuvi 360 and it worked flawlessly.

    You get both the map display and radar for the whole country and
    Mexico (maybe even Canada - I didn't look) with street level zoom on
    the iPhone.

    Google earth?

    I am standing in line in Kohls talking to an Indian (from India) about
    the bomb attacks of the last few days when I show him the iPhone and
    have him pull up the latest news. I then ask him to type in his
    address in India. Poof with 3G I have the map in seconds and in a few
    seconds more a satellite image of his home down to the view of the
    cars on the street. I also demonstrated he could locate his local
    Hindu temple and nine others as well as the nearest Pizza from here.
    A view and data search clear on the other side of the world, while
    standing in line with a credit card sized cell phone in the USA!

    He was impressed.

    Indians are always impressed with trinkets like that and that is how
    we got New York City from the natives who lived here. Think of what we
    could have been had if the settlers had iPhones to sell them instead
    of beads.

    That's an extremely fine and accurate pointing device used on very high
    resolution touchscreens to point to very specific points much more
    narrow than your grease covered meat hook. It's called a STYLUS (sti-
    lus). It is used for drawing very fine lines on high definition
    screens, pointing to very closely spaced news articles on webpages such
    as:
    http://news.google.com/
    without zooming in and out and in and out just to point to them. It's
    accuracy, like your middle finger now pointing at my message, is the
    width of the pointy end.

    Yes, but I can look down that mountainside in 3D with Google Earth and
    see the stream burbling over the little falls into the pool below.....

    No I haven't seen google earth like that on the iPhone yet. hey what
    is that pointy thing in the man's hand, his finger? You need a handful
    of fingers to do what he did with the iPhone.

    But the next time your iPhone friend sees you ask him to grab the free
    game Moonlight Mahjong's. Have him fire up some music in iTunes to
    give the little processor something to do and then launch that game.
    Read the directions. The game rotates in 3D and can be manipulated in
    any dimension as you examine the complex board. Notice how smooth and
    clear the graphics are, how accurate to the smallest detail in every
    position. There are millions of PC's that can not do that.
