Helio Drift - GPS enabled phone with Google Maps Built in

Interesting news in the GPS enabled mobile phone area with the announcement of the new Helio Drift slider phone. The unit comes equipped with a GPS receiver and the ability to run Google Maps and get door to door directions. The unit also supports buddy beacons that allow you to see where friends are, calling it a "Friendar". The unit also comes loaded with a lot of other nice features that round out a decent mobile phone offering. What's that sound I hear? I think it's the sound of 20-somethings walking away from stand-alone GPS units.
