Here is my response to an email to TomTom about getting their PDA GPS software ported to the Nokia 770. It is good and bad. Bad is that they think the Nokia 770 is a phone. The good is that are looking into it.
Dear Mr Bellve,
Currently, we do not have support for this phone. We are going to be testing this phone. However, right now, we can not guarantee any functionality with this phone.
We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
With best regards,
The TomTom Customer Support Team

I don't know how big TomTom is in terms of people but when a company gets past a certain size those geeks with the cool ideas are so far removed from the management nothing new comes out of them. Their dreams and aspirations are crushed!

If TomTom are anything like they are you'll have a load of very, very smart engineers behind things and a bunch of *****s managing and marketing the things. Geeks love GPS and the idea and uses behind it. I am sure there are engineers at TomTom who have the device or seen it and would be thinking i wonder if we can get our stuff to run on this.

The question is how much it would cost to get to market - I expect there is quite a high break-even point and there would need to be a few more 770's shipped yet.
