Battery life is pretty much even play: Dash will also need to be powered from car socket or be drained, GPS is a known power hog. I bet it will not be able to place calls. In two years time, however, Dash will have to fight car manufacturers more than it will have to fight HTC and Nokia. BMW and Lexus already have GPS with reference guides as a standard feature (I use it extensively when driving) and cheaper cars like Nissan have it as an option. All are embedded systems with native controls and full integration with the car. What Dash will do when EVERY car will have onboard GPS with bells and whistles by default? I am afraid this war is lost for them... Dean:

There is a difference with cell phones. Your phone is constantly being used by a GPS application and so it will use battery life. That may not be a problem if you are in the car. Of course, you're paying more for your N95 than your Dash Express. You have just the one gadget: the Dash Express. There is a difference with cell phones.

A number of communicators, such as Tytn II (winmobile) and Nokia N95 (Symbian) cal already do the same, plus much more - and for free. Provided you pay the mobile operator for a data plan.
