Perhaps. But the Google maps are pretty killer.

Funny thing happened yesterday while I was in Home Depot. A younger  
employee was explaining YouTube to an older one. The older guy (50s)  
was having a hard time understanding. So, I simply turned around,  
pulled up YouTube and said, "Here, have a look." Then I walked back a  
few feet and watched.

They started playing with it for a few seconds and then the younger  
guy (20s) turned to me and said, "Is this the new iPhone?"

The interesting thing was that the younger guy wanted to be able to  
use it for videos, music, and the internet. The older guy wanted to  
use it for photos, music, reading news, and watching stocks. He asked  
me like four times if I could get stocks on it. I showed him the  
stock ticker - that was the killer app for him.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
