Biggest opportunity I've blownNot Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

My brother in law has a licence for an American clothing brand in Brazil.And does a bit of business selling teeshirts and beachware. He is well set up for importing and distributing chinese made crap.
I told him about 10 years ago he should look at importing sat navs, which were pretty much unheard of in Brazil. He was pretty dismissive, said it'd never take off.
I occasionally remind him of that.

The Chinese no-name third party products was where the money was (is) and the idea of what wasa very niche product with corporate clients being the target (not our discipline) requiring our company taking a not inconsiderable financial punt was in my view, not worthwhile. I was wrong, the fire burned very brightly and now the market changes yet again.

I wasn't talking about GPS products, just a general observation regarding third party China electronics.(
