Snaptrack - Will it take the wireless positioning market? [skip] No !! Because - I beleive they are looking for a per hit charge. Operators are not going to go for that. Cellsite solutions, and in the phone solutions will be much more attractive for operators. I don't know much about Snaptrack, but they definitely have a good PR working for them.Must have some smart and well connected venture capitalists behind it, as it has been funded by the TI,H&Q fund, among others. The question is - where is Trimble in its development of an OEM solution for the wireless market? The GPS association's projections for the future size of GPS markets included a very large component for the wireless positioning market. How much will go to Trimble? Has Trimble already lost the race to Snaptrack (or Sirf)? [skip] Sirf is a non starter. They probably won't even get past the patents. Trimble has a cellsite solution and in the phone solution today. I think they will garner significant market share. Arun
