IBD: “Stand-Alone GPS Market Losing Its Way?”
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Author - Mary Beth Lowell - Communications Manager
Investor’s Business Daily writes today that the market for stand-alone GPS navigation devices is slowing down dramatically due to competition from cell phones with built-in GPS navigation … perhaps even going the "way of the personal digital assistant."
The reporter cites several third parties who support this argument, including an analyst from Dougherty & Co. who said that "the [personal navigation device] space is absolutely going in the crapper."
Other analysts might disagree. For example, we recently wrote on a report from Berg Insight which asserts that multiple types of navigation solutions and devices are likely to "co-exist" in the future - meaning there will be sufficient demand for both stand-alone GPS devices and cell phone-based GPS navigation.
What do you think? Now that you have TeleNav GPS Navigator, would you ever consider using a stand-alone GPS device again?
