New Garmin "Oregon" touchscreen GPS?

[Boyd]

Evidently the specs on a new line of Garmin handheld GPS'es were accidently leaked on Amazon's site. They sound like an update to the Colorado series. Will be interesting to see what develops. However, the Colorado has been called a "work in progress" in the reviews I've seen, and although it looks very cool the software evidently has lots of issues.

Garmin has launched a new mini-site for the Oregon GPS, so I guess it's a reality: http://www8.garmin.com/buzz/oregon/

Looks pretty cool.
