TomTom to Extend HD Traffic to Existing TomTom Products
 
TomTom yesterday officially announced a standalone HD traffic receiver. Sold €99.95 including 6 months free HD traffic, this accessory will be available in countries where TomTom HD traffic is available: Netherlands today, United Kingdom and Germany this year and France in 2009. This product is only compatible with 6 products today: TomTom GO 520, 720, 920, 530, 730, 930; but a software upgrade will offer compatibility with some older products in the near future.

Comment: TomTom sells the HD traffic receiver at low price to get more profits from its value added traffic information services. This is TomTom’s first service via wireless connection. TomTom will provide more services for users in the future. The world’s mobile phone giant Nokia is also making efforts to become an information service provider. In the future, more and more hardware manufacturers will make profits from services.
