SiRF Earnings DOWN 89%

2008-02-06 01:01:55 by Scott Martin in GPS Lodge
It appears that SiRF has run into pricing pressure. With prices dropping like a stone on the GPS front, and some GPS makers electing to go with other "High Sensitivity Receivers", that are pretty good in my opinion (think TomTom and Garmin).
