Yes, it was, but that doesn't mean you can't compare levels of awesomeness. Yeah, I just used 'awesomeness' in a sentence. :)
Yay for picking the right week to be in NYC. This is gonna be way better than the tree at Rockefeller Center. :)
Let's do the Timepooooort agaaaaaaaain. :-)

Common Motorola; stop resting on your laurels.
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!!!!
So these two Siamese Cats walk into a bar. :-)
Sling has always been awesome. Sling in HD = More Awesome. Free Sling in HD = Awesometastic :-D
I've yet to jump on the PSP band-wagon...wouldn't it be so nice not to have to pay to do so. ^_^
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? =:)
^_^
iPhone. It's magically Del.ici.ous . ;-)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
