Many people will assume that top seller means top quality. What it really
means is tops in advertising.

Well. The stat only refers to gps receivers and the list seems to be
right. But all gps capable phones, pda, umpc and laptops were not
there. Really not quite relevant at all. Gps-phone users are
substantial in numbers and umpc-gps users are also catching up too as
far as I know. I just spent around $65 (tax & del included) for a
full blown Garmin 09 map and a gps. The gps entry fee for a netbook/
umpc users is peanuts .

Or tops in cheap knock-off prices.

Granted, I may be bitter, having owned a SuperBetaED, on the subject of
the inevitable triumph of crap over technical superiority.

I believe after SuperBetaED , there are SuperVHS, VCD, DVD, doubleDVD,
BlueRay..... I recall my SuperVHS was over $800 when new. Now the
price of 1T ext harddrive is really peanuts.
I would not say all the subsequent generation of video format after
Beta are crap
