Adding fuel to fires, I hardly see how an electric toy car
could haul my 9000 pound travel trailer, to say nothing
about making a cross country trip of 1000+ miles with a
family aboard.

People vote with their wallets, there is no doubt whatsoever.

I can tell you this - when I was deploying with my old 735,
I would have LOVED to have the 706 size package.  And to fit
a TV in it to boot - what a wonderful thing for those who
must travel and need to travel light.

I don't own a big SUV - and I cannot see why ANYONE should
have a big gas guzzler like that!  The automakers could have
used the resources better by developing electric cars.

Get the point?

As in a previous thread about 220 radios - It seems that the
company saw more profit in the TV screen than in the other
features supposedly lacking.  The value of this choice will
prove out in the number they sell.  I am betting it will be
a success - even with TV and without missing features.
