[nagdu] [Fwd: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview

[Julie J.]

Dar,

It looks like this ap would be able to tell you what stores you are 
passing.  I think what is meant by a "look around" feature.  However it 
is just in the testing phase right now.  I went to the site yesterday 
afternoon and they have already gotten 300 people signed up, which was 
way more than they needed.  I hope it isn't long before the full version 
comes out.  and I seriously hope this ap isn't crazy expensive.
