Implementation is a tad different: it's where multi-touch shines,  
though the Treo has had maps since 2006 (or thereabouts).

Having said that, the Treo maps are possibly more useful, but I can't  
tell since I've yet to see a new iPhone. I've also heard that trying  
to use GPS in cars with an iPhone is tricky - then there is the video  
that I've seen of a NZ purchaser of an iPhone which shows the user to  
be in Texas...
