Is the GPS Golden Age Already Over? [View article]
I agree with the first post: mp3-enabled phones have not decimated ipod sales nor have cell phone cameras eliminated the popularity of dedicated digi cameras. PNDs are here to stay. Consider the possibilities: taxis, package & pizza delivery, retiring and traveling boomers, rental cars, teen, pet and furlougee monitoring, aviation, marine, hunting, cycling, fitness, etc. Use your imagination re GPS and you should be able to see how important this technology is likely to become. Garmin is already doing many of these things with growth. Universal gadgets are too expensive & complicated for all but the biggest gadget heads and people would rather have dedicated, user friendly devices tailored to their preferences that can be upgraded piece meal.
