No idea on price yet though.

Hmmm... not so sure about that...
What's it going to use for internet access..? Random, unprotected WiFi, or a new Dash installed network?
Real time traffic info? Only once there's lots of their units in the areas I want to travel. Until then, it's like being the first kid on the block with a Zune - no one to squirt with!
Their comparison to 'dumb' GPS is a bit over simplified. The TomTom and Garmin solutions that have traffic data are getting it in pseudo real time. I'd trust XM and Clear Channel to have a better idea of traffic snarl ups initially than needing other early Dash adopters to get my information.
Their Destination Search is no different to what other GPS nav systems do. You don't need the "power of the internet" when the other units come with thousands of POIs loaded and the ability to customize / download more...
