It's wonderful if you're a fresh tourist and are worried about getting where you need to, but I usually just check the list, throw the device into my pocket and storm out of the house while praying to all the deities I know for making it on time! :P You're right about the 21st century remark, but it all depends on the usage.

There you enter the stop you start at and the stop you want to reach and it lists all the possible routes with details (ie travel 3 stops to street a with bus 60, wait 5 minutes for bus 53, travel 5 stops with it, etc). And that's enough for me :). Still, it's nice that you Appleholics also get that sort of goodness, too bad it's just London though.
