The good news is that iGO2008 is likely to be a lot cheaper than iGO2006 (they are anticipating €149 for the full Europe version and €80 for an upgrade). Brief details are Here on Nav'n'Go's website.
Great review - and I have to say the screen shots show a lovely well designed bit of kit. But - and forgive me if this is obvious - but I assume the reference to 'storage card lock' means you cannot copy the information onto a larger mem card and are stuck with having to change cards when wanting to use SatNav? If that is the case - they really do need to be shipping these on really big cards with memory we can use - I mean I have an 8GB MicroSD in my Touch Dual - and it will be a complete dead in the water option to change from TomTom Nav 5 to iGo! Talk about short sighted - they really need to change their licensing model!
