Just my personal opinion but I disagree with the article. On most all of the items they listed. In regards to the GPS I'll always need a stand alone unit because I'll never own a smart phone. I refuse to pay the costs montly to have said smart phone as there is no value in it for myself. The article kind of reminded me of the class story you would write in High School about where you would be in 20 years. Fun to write, fun to read. But not even close to the truth.
