[gps-talkusers] Re: How well does mobile geo work?

I have the 40 cell model from Humanware and it's about the size of a TV
remote control, it fits in my pocket and the end kind of sticks out a
little. But they do sell shorter ones. And even this one beats carrying a BN
everywhere IMHO.

I've wondered about that, do those displays really fit in your pocket? I'be 
thought often it would probably be hard to hear the speech and the 
environmnt around you at the same time. So courious how the tiny displays do

work. I've seen a small one, but not one that is truly pocket sized.
