TomTom Worried by Nokia

Could the handheld GPS market be worried about what Nokia has planned for GPS?

Tarmo Virki's article talks about how Nokia is looking to improve their GPS performance and some in the handheld GPS market are starting to worry.

While I doubt that anytime soon my Garmin GPS will be replaced by a GPS enabled cellphone, I'm an interested in my potential ability to move forward with a "convergence" plan for my running electronics....

For those who may not see me running in Boulder County, I look a lot like a slow moving NASA probe… :) I have a Garmin GPS to know where I am and how slow I am going; a Polar heart monitor watch to know where my heart is/should be; a cell phone so that my wife can know where I am... if I answer...; and an iPod so that I can think of other places that I might be. I privately yearn for one device, but I am not really that excited about a $1000 price tag.
