Agreed, let us know if you can modify it with all the apps your talking about.

The UI is very well done. Good size buttons for selecting contacts, dialing. I think from utube videos u just swipe up n down anywhere for next or previous. Left and right for volume so real buttons are not needed so much.

The design is very clean not bulky. Hope the remote from the asteroid mini works in the smart unit.

Speak to txt for quick replies. Double mic for calls.

They do have their own app market with only a few apps. Not sure if you can still access the google play mrkt.

Very promising for me in general.

I just got it today. I'll be throwing it in this week and letting everyone know how it compares.

Thanks, hanging out to see how it goes!

No problem. I mean hell, if I can find a way to hack the apps onto it, or come up with a set of apps that run better... is capacitive touch screen really worth THAT much? LOL

Provided google maps and Torque work on that cheaper unit it may be the way I go... It doesn't look quite as sleek as the Parrot unit, but access to the play store is a pretty big advantage...

You'll come to love having a physical volume knob and audio control buttons LOL.

I know google maps will work, but Torque is a big question.

Yeah I think I agree about the volume knob/ control buttons. Also, Spotify, but there shouldn't be any problems with that I would imagine... This unit + a decent sized plan 4G data connection would be amazing for it.
