    If people would be willing to sue via Computer Hacking laws against Tom Tom? If not have it a tort case, why not make it a criminal case? The fact that they knew about it, and covered it up shows guilt.

    These devices are going for ~540$ and with installed viruses to boot. Nice.

    For that money I can get a low-end iPhone and have $41 left to buy my own viruses ... if we were only allowed to install 3rd party apps.
