Why's Engadget hatin' on this Magellan 1200? I, for one, don't find this to be "a real yawner." And, from the previous comments, it looks as though at least a few people are happy w/ a sub-$200 portable GPS unit. Like someone said, these would make awesome Christmas presents, esp. for first-timers.

Do they not like it because it doesn't play MP3s/MP4s or spit out a photo slideshow? Come on! It's a frickin' GPS device. We've got more than enough convergence devices already. Besides, if most people were using this in their cars, they already have a radio, a tape/CD player, and possibly some sort of iPod/Zune/*insert random DAP name* hookup in place. Perhaps I'm missing some hidden sarcasm?
