And your idea, saumaun...that's exactly where I was going with it also, which is why I was looking into 5-7 inch portable monitors on ebay that had a/v inputs!...LOL. If you got a TV installed into your new car and made sure it had a/v input w/ rca output (to connect to your car stereo), you'd definitely be set! Technically, you could run the NAV (w/ the audio signal going to the car speakers) and view Google Maps / Mapquest or Yahoo Maps directions all at the same time. It would be ALMOST as good as having a portable nav...LOL.

I had a little 7 inch TFT LCD portable monitor that I used in my old car for gaming, paid like 70 bucks for it. I bought a velcro strap from Home Depot, stuck a piece on my dash, a piece on the back of the monitor, and I was in business! Talk about a inexpensive way for mobile entertainment. If I still had them both it would've been perfect for hooking up the Touch Pro to.

Yeah. I was looking at monitors on ebay like that.

Only thing is, I haven't found any monitors that had RCA a/v inputs. They're all the smaller A/V input.

Either way, I'm sure I'll be able to find one and I have time until the phone is released on Sprint, so as soon as I find one that'll work nicely, I'll post it on here.

I think it may be 288MB of RAM, not 256 or 128 :)

Any word on a release date? I had my heart set on getting the Diamond, but been balking lately, especially since I purchased a 8gb microsdhc card for my Touch and knowing that the Diamond won't have a external slot for it, but after seeing this last night, I'm completely sold on the Touch Pro.

Think that's enough RAM for the TouchFLO 3D to run smoothly without lagging and freezing?

The talks in other threads have been all over the place. One site (which I think was wrong because they also said the Diamond would come after the Pro, which wouldn't really make much sense) was saying that it would be released Sept.2. Thing is there has been way less information available compared to the Diamond, so I doubt it. The other dates that have been mentioned, Oct. 2nd, Oct. 19th. Someone elese had said Aug. 18 at Best Buy, but obsiously it never happened...LOL.

Its not 288 user accessible. Some of that is dedicated to the graphics processing. I think its actually shared RAM.
