Huh, this could work out. Remember Dash? It was that the little GPS start-up company that made the innovative PND that had a monthly subscription, but also routed you around traffic issues through the magic of the cloud. You probably never saw one in person because, well, no one wants a GPS with a monthly fee. Anyway, RIM, the makers of BlackBerrys of course, just purchased the company.

Hopefully this means the two will combine forces and produce a BlackBerry with a killer navigation system. $10 says that the two companies can get something on the market before the Garmin-Asus does. They have been working for years and we still haven’t seen anything on retailer’s shelves.

    I won’t bet against you, ’cause I also believe they can get something very interesting on the market before Garmin-Asus get to beta… :^P

    I look forward to what they will accomplish, because I suspect it will force the others in the market to (TeleNet, et al) to develop THEIR products more, and that will benefit me.
