TomTom, Garmin See Glass Half Full with PNDs

"In the summer period, we’ve seen quite a good development in demand. We’re becoming more optimistic."

- TomTom Chief Executive Officer Harold Goddijn

"We don’t believe that PND is dead. We think it’s going to continue to grow a couple more years through 2011 and possibly flatten out at that point as the GPS-enabled smart-phone market increases."

- Kevin Rauckman, chief financial officer of Garmin

TomTom already has an iPhone app, Garmin will not pursue one, but is offering its own branded nav phones.
