Actually, I've tried GPS and EFB applications on one
of MS' platforms - the Samsung Q1 - which has a whole
lot more computing power than the 496, and it's a dog.

I sure hope Garmin steps up to the plate, performance-wise, with their
(much anticipated) new product at OSH...

Didn't they with the 496 ? Isn't that the only difference
from the 396 ? (plus maybe traffic)
