RE: Reference?
Somewhere last year-GPS Passion forums or Engadget, most likely-this was actually stated by a TT spokesperson.
While the MAY have not officially EOL'd anything, they've not released any new updates for either WM or Palm OS TT solutions. Palm also never certified its two newest POS smartphones (755p & Centro) to OFFICIALLY work with any of their TT-based GPS packages and instead came out with this new bundle featuring the same hardware but software by Garmin.
So I think it's pretty safe to say TT are focusing on dedicated standalone nav systems, especially with the recent report that TT's profits are way down from a year ago.

Do you have a reference for this?
I am considering purchasing the DVD of TTN6 (already have a BT GPS). If it is to be without future updates, or an orphan product with only very rare updates and no support, I would like to know.
