I'm in complete agreement. The new iphone is a game changer for sure. I was skeptical about adapting to a 3" screen for reading, but it turns out to be not that much different from the feel of reading a smallish paperback.

Plus, the marine navigation software coupled with the iphone's GPS makes a pretty decent chartplotter. Too small a screen to be a primary, IMO (and no way to set up a repeater AFAIK), but one you can take on your dinghy and ashore! Amazing stuff.

I'd almost say that the new iphone is THE must have device for coastal cruising US.
