Quite interesting: I don't think I have seen (serious) software for handsets that's more expensive than the hardware (for PC's this isn't uncommon). If you want to run this, the costs of an iPod Touch to run it on are almost negligible (well, about 20%).
- smokey_the_bear 17y agoBuying topo maps for handheld GPS devices can easily cost more than the device itself. Garmin charges $120 for topo maps of the northeast alone, for a device that costs 100-200. I've seen a lot of commercial uses for rugged palm pilots too, the special case software for that is probably quite expensive.
