You aren't the target demographic, so I'm not sure why you are even
participating in the discussion other than to make a point of notifying
the rest of us that you aren't in the target demographic. Duly noted.

Both smart phones and navigation systems are a roaring success by any
measure. So you'll have to excuse the rest of the world for not putting
much faith in your predictions.
