If they offer the ipaq as a choice, theres no reason why they might not expand the choice of off the shelf products for vehicles, in the near future.

It certainly makes business sense because like you hint at, where large amounts of capital expenditure are involved, offering a range of choices for the customer is generally seen as a positive rather than a negative.

If that off the shelf hardware choice, which has always been available at the office end of the system, was extended to the vehicle end of the system, then that would allow the data dispatch company to concentrate on developing it's core product, which is the actual software which runs on those two sets of hardware.

Onzon nice answer

Couldn't agree more Onzon.

That way the software provider could focus simply on the job in hand and linking their system with other already existing products.

Rather than a company becoming large and unwieldy trying to offer their own in house version of products.

I always felt that Auriga's GPS software was so poor when they could have brought off the shelf functionality from experts in that field.

Yes, I'm trying to identify the gps system that Boston Coach are currently using.

Read on a blog recently. A passenger was well impressed with the drivers turn by turn navigation system but couldn't name it.

Still looking.
