my last post sounded retarded, should read: who would use 3g agps w/ no turn by turn on google maps over a standalone unit and/or tbt software for real-time navigation.
How about: the millions of people who bought it so far? Most people don't understand the difference between a-GPS or GPS, or what a smartphone is or should be able to do, which is why this phone is selling so well.
The general public hears GPS and automatically thinks they will be able to navigate turn by turn just because of those three letters. Anyone who KNOWS mobile phones realizes that those three letters are no guarantee by themselves, but the majority of iPhoners out there don't know phones and are upgrading from a hardly capable device to what's been touted as the newest, latest and greatest all in one device--and they EXPECT it to do everything and to do it perfectly.
Also, this "Hopefully the collective retard's minds will catch up with the technology soon enough," should be:
"Hopefully the collective retard(S)' minds will catch up..." [plural possessive], unless the collective retard (singular) is some being that I'm unaware of... which is possible.
