Does that mean we can't utilize a GPS app like TomTom on it? As far as I am concerned, GPS is one of the main draws/improvements Palm has made in their PPCs. If they do that, I may have to look elsewhere for a new PPC!!! Anybody else feel the same?
I heard all that crap about the Touch, too, and it had a real gps on board. People are STILL trying to say it doesn't have a "real" GPS.

Anyway, I need to make a trip to the store before I commit. It looks nice enough, it has pretty good specs and the screen size will sure be an improvement BUT the reason I went from a 700wx to a Touch was Slingplayer. On the 700wx the video was the size of a postage stamp. Even with my glasses I could barely see it and there's no full screen mode for the square screen. If it's watchable on the 800, I'll be leaving the store with one. If it's not watchable or they don't even let me try it, I'm afraid I'll have to pass.
