TomTom has absolutely no plans in the near future to launch its own-brand handsets as they'd rather concentrate their resources on developing core software while strengthening content and services for in-car PNDs. This move comes as a surprise to me since the handset segment is a potential market for the personal navigation applications, but TomTom has decided to steer clear of hardware in that area while developing software solutions instead. I suppose the pay off isn't worth the time and effort put in compared to revenue that software can generate. Anyone wants to see a TomTom brand handset?
