TomTom profits drop 83% due to price cuts {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2008 12:02AM I wouldn't be so sure that there weren't other factors at work helping to deplete those earnings figures.
I was one of the many people this past holiday season to purchase a TomTom One 3rd Edition for a reduced price, only to get it home and realize there was no way to bring the unit out of hibernation besides jamming a pen inside to reset it. I mean sure, it was fun looking at "the white screen of death" while the voice-guide continued to mouth off about where you should turn and how far before you got there, but I paid for visuals gosh darn it. :- )
Needless to say they came out with a patch weeks later to fix the software glitch causing the white screens on effected units, but not after what I would presume to be hundreds (at least) of them were already RMA'd.
To research this on your own, just google "TomTom One + white screen". You shouldn't have any problem verifying the story, and digging into the software glitch during the Christmas rush which could have cost them a lot of reputation in a short amount of time.
I do realize that we don't exactly have the results from Q4 of '08 just yet to compare things with ^_^, but this is my two cents.
I'm still pullin' for ya' TomTom!!!!

Nov 22nd 2007 3:22AM Zack and Wiki looks to be a true breath of fresh air to an adventure/point-n-click starved game world. Could the release of our favorite platforming plumber's new game, along with the introduction of these interesting new characters from the minds of Capcom make for a better Christmas? =:)
