Hopefully the new owners can make up for the mess you made....


Just my 2 cents worth - no need to flame! :)]]>Oct 18th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/France is great for visiting the sites, not much more. 100yrs ago they wouldnt be called france, lacking any viable military all hope for future tax revenue in the Eiffel Tower.]]>Oct 18th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/Oct 18th 2007 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/

I'm an ex-Thomson employee and they DO own RCA.

The article is correct. Click on the Thomson press release.]]>Oct 18th 2007 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/
http://home.rca.com/en-US/RCA-Brand.html shows that they are indeed currently a brand of Thomson Inc., a subsidiary of Thomson SA (and the press release makes it clear that, in the USA at least, that had already been licensed to Audiovox.)

Frankly their consumer products in the UK market were always a little, erm, lacking in style (demonstrated very well, I think, by the Scenium "styling" applied to the UK's one and only TiVo model.)
Who will end up with custody of the Grundig brand, now?]]>Oct 19th 2007 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/
Please do not bastardize Grundig, it's my last bastion of hope for great HIGH QUALITY radios.

THE CAPS LOCK KEY]]>Oct 19th 2007 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/thomson-having-sold-rca-leaves-consumer-electronics-altogether/I bought a 6.o phone at Wal-Mart about3 months ago, and not very happy with it. Looks good, and generally ok, except for volume. Can hardly hear the ring and also most of the time can hardly hear the voice on the end of the line. I wish I had waited until I got my Consumers Report magazine, which rated the Thomson (under the GE name), at the very bottom of the list. Buyer Beware!!]]>Dec 6th 2007 3:33PM
