Not to hijack the thread, and go too far off into a tangent, but I disagree on this one. I think we'll see the app (if not at CES, then soo thereafter), but I don't think Sprint will hold it back. Yes, they have Sprint Navigation, but we have to pay for it as part of the package whether we use it or not. I don't think they'll hold back a competitor for a "non-revenue generating" app.

G'Voice - I see Google coming out with their own app for the Pre but will not necessarily make the integration any better than what we have now. At least with this generation of phones there's not a way of fully integrating our GV number. What I mean is that if we want to show our GV number to the person we're calling, we will always need to dial into GV first, which is cumbersome.
I agree, I think we'll see both of these soon. In some ways, the Pre is "cutting edge" with Google without their cooperation. Though Google offers a competing OS, I think they'll start playing nice soon.
