Oh dear. Looks like TomTom have abandoned us. I can't even find any
references to past products on the support section. They've revamped
the site and all appears to be gone.

Click on the 4th button that says EPOC.

I didn't struggle to find it, it seemed straight forward enough. Are you
advertising for them? ;o)

Your the second person to mention this. I am not sure what you guys are
looking at, but Epoc is still there on Tom Tom's web page and in plain view!
Look again.

Most interesting. Entering the above URL takes one to a "Products"
page with 4 buttons. Starting from scratch and going to
http://www.tomtom.com takes one to a "Products" page with only 2
buttons, PalmOS and PocketPC. The Nokia and EPOC buttons are not
there. So just how did you get to the above URL?

Duh.. I went to http://www.tomtom.com/ clicked on products next to Home at
the top of the page. Oh... gee there is Epoc right at the top. Man that was
hard, whew! On second glance, I didn't need to click anything, Epoc was
right on the main page. Will you people look past your noses.

It's no true

That's the response of TomTom when clicking button EPOC :

"Welcome. This is where you can find details of our range of
innovative applications for handheld devices using EPOC. TomTom has a
long-standing partnership with Psion, and was involved in the
development of EPOC. That means easy-to-use and effective products for
you.

Please have a look around. For more information, click on a product."

In order to see the EPOC products you must select Europe and not US as your
region otherwise the original correspondant is correct in stating that there
is only the option for PPC and Palm.

Traveller, I guess you've never travelled to the US. :-) Perhaps it's
TomTom who isn't looking past their noses.

It wasn't when I wrote the original article. Not after the first load,
nor after several re-load attempts. Something somewhere was clearly
struggling, because I was getting an apparently complete page transfer,
but minus the "Nokia" and "Epoc" buttons.

(You may like to score points, but treating people as dunces simply
because they happen to observe something different from your own
experience doesn't make 'em stupid.)

Eh? I went to the default site - http://www.tomtom.com. There were only
two buttons available, and after rooting around a little I could still
only come up with the two options (one was pocket pc, I forget the other)
although the border around the buttons was obviously large enough to
accommodate 4. Maybe its an artefact of the new site structure.

No. Most definitely not.

NewYork State is a mere 1.5 hour drive from me. I live in Toronto, Canada.
Anyway, I was finding it hard to believe that some people visiting the same
web page as me were not seeing what I was seeing.
