The only thing missing is a built in hdd. The GPS works great for me, sometimes it may take a minute before the signal is located (I feel that's an issue with the placement of the GPS antenna). The options are many, the screen is crystal clear with high resolution, and who can complain about the nice GUI. One of the only touchscreens that can view video from one source and listen to music with another. This is a plus if you like to create video montages or screensavers to have in the background while your music plays. Even though I hate having to use an ipod, it interfaces very well.
