  • Garmin Plans to Launch Android Phone [View article]
    Android, is providing a cheap fast way into the smart phone market, now anyone with hardware, can compete.


    What does this mean? It means MSFT has to have an all out winner in win mobile 7 or it is out for this round, and maybe the next

    It means Apple will cut prices and add features faster in attempt to slow margin loss.

    It means google might be cheap, Android will bring smartphones to the middle market and even to the pay as you go crowd.
    Already consumers have twigged you can sim a smart phone and use a low cost provider for a great wifi PDA with a built in Pay as you go phone.
    Sure its not an iphone, but it is as cheap as an itouch and has a fully functioning phone...... whats not to like.


    Garmin going the wrong way? I think not, people still want navs that stay docked in the car and work great. But they might like having the comfort of knowing maps and directions are up to date and working well.....

  • Don't Close the Line on Nokia Just Yet [View article]
    Nok , does not have shot a getting a slice of the smart phone market ????

    Are you insane? NOK has a huge slice. Apple will not rule the phone market, there are too many players too many plans and not nearly enough Apple Fanboys outside of the USA.
