Will Microsoft buy TomTom?

I am not sure I believe this might actually happen but GPS Review is reporting a rumor that Microsoft is looking to purchase TomTom, the company that produces great GPS/ navigation solutions for mobile devices and automobiles.  Microsoft produces similar technology on the software side, MapPoint 2006 and Pocket Streets and Trips but the TomTom software is far superior for pure GPS navigation.  This rumored buyout may be based on no facts but it did make TomTom’s share price rise when the rumors started circulating throughout the Web.  We’ll just have to wait and see.
