iSuppli: By 2014 perhaps no market left for Personal Nav Devices
Despite all the positive words from PND vendors, the research firm says a study points the other way: “According to market research firm iSuppli, by 2011, virtually all smartphones will sport built-in GPS functionality, and by 2014 there might be no more market left for PNDs.” For now though, PND still rule: ” According to iSuppli, PNDs will continue to lead the navigation market in 2009, with some 114 million sets predicted to be in use by the end of the year, compared with 57.8 million navigation-enabled smart phones.”
