Pioneer developing iPhone-like multitouch head-unit

Neptune - thanks for the pics. I've read a bunch on the unit and the reviews on Amazon/Crutchfield; besides the high rate of defective units, the biggest problem seems to be that 1) you need to use the iPhone to switch between apps, and 2) you still need to use the iPhone's screen to input things like destination address into MotionGpsX, as well as for almost all of that app's menus, etc.

I know that Pioneer is promising updates, but my gut says not to hold my breath. I've looked at all the CD/DVD/Radio/Sat/Navi 2Din units and I hated the interfaces on cost of them. You're right, for the money this seems like a great buy, and the simple elegant interface was much superior to the other units that I saw, but the implementation of how this unit works (from all I've read) drove me up the wall.

Can I ask what happens when you get a BT call? I assume it drops you say out of MotionGpsX and into the Phone screen; can you then navigate just via the AppRadio (without using the iPhone) back to MotionGpsX???
