[pct-l] iPhone for the trail

I wonder how few years ago it was when someone would not even be able to understand this post. Technology...incredible.

are we there yet

I used a Palm Treo 750 last year on the PCT as my all purpose unit.  I  
journaled on it during trips using Word then uploaded them to my internet  journal 
while in town.  Very easy and I generally had good cell  coverage in resupply 
towns.  I also loaded GPS software on the Palm  and carried a 2 oz Earthmate 
GPS unit (bluetooth).  Generally, I didn't  find GPS necessary, but it was 
useful in a couple instances, and I enjoyed  marking my camps and other key 
locations.  I liked having phone,  journaling, GPS, weather, ebooks, Word (journal) 
and Excel (trip and resupply  plans), as well as low res camera and video, all 
on one unit.
