What are they thinking?

I just found out that most new dedicated GPS devices require a smart phone to do traffic updates... what are they thinking? If you have a smart phone with data, why would you fork over ~$100 for a dedicated devices when you could just use your smartphone?

So this means if I ever want to "upgrade" my current GPS, I will have to buy used... sigh.

Wow, yeah, why would anyone even bother? I guess it's a little harder to play music on my phone, but that's probably because I'm too lazy to figure out the UI.
