VS has:
no usb host support (no thumb drives, no usb printers, and so on
either no sd or cf card slot, I can't remember which it lacks
no serial port

Other differences escape me at the moment, but as this will be
the first time gps is put on another platform it is almost a
certainty that it will not be as good as the bn/vn until the bugs
are worked out.  Nothing against GWM, but the first
implementation of anything is never perfect.

Have a great day,
Alex
