X2...for $100 I purchased a Garmin LM40 (4.3" screen with Lifetime Map updates)...when I got my first GPS the Lifetime Map option really didn't exist...
I'm all for having fewer devices in our lives...but Garmin's sole purpose in life is GPS/mapping (well mostly)...you get a nice user interface for what you need (IMO).
The Ipad...well I haven't found a need for one yet...not saying that I won't in the future...I know they have a lot of great features/applications...but for right now...I'm not seeing it personally...so I'm still in the "undecided" camp and "uncommitted"...we do have 3 iPhones in the family...none of which are mine...LOL
One comment about a previous comment about 2 movies being about 5 gigs...I'm not sure I buy that...when I get movies for my kids Ipod's/etc...they range in size from 0.4Gbytes to 1.5Gbytes...in compressed MP4 format...I've never "streamed" movies per say...so I'm not 100% sure...but based on the MP4 sizes I've seen...most are well under 1 gig...at least from what I've seen...not sure if the size of the MP4 directly relates to the "streaming" size though.
