	I'm mentally translating this as 'most of the places where it 
will be difficult for me to work out where I am by sight, such as 
anywhere outside of a (US) dense city grid, it probably won't work 
very well'.

	As everything on this list is stuff they have already done 
for the iPhone, I'd say this is basically them figuring the iPod 
Touch will become more of an app platform when the iPhone SDK comes 
out, and they might as well get ahead of it.

	Cheers
