When they come out in May, the baseline 3.5" TomTom One 130 will still list for $200, while a step-up with text to speech (in other words, reading of street names and highway numbers) is $250. The 4.3" widescreen TomTom XL has dropped in price, though: the 330 costs $250, and the 330S with text-to-speech is at $300. If you really just want to save money, the old TomTom One 3rd Edition currently lists for $170, while supplies last of course.

TomTom was in the news lately for having taken a beating in the first quarter of the year, profit down from $70.3 million to $12 million in year over year comparison. Keeping prices low certainly won't boost profits, though it might help to increase its flagging overall revenues. The real issue for us gadget fiends is that these minor updates, with no major change to the TomTom user interface in many years, makes the company look unable to conceive of radical new ideas as the GPS market gets crazier, and starts to include BlackBerrys and, dare I add, iPhones. I like TomTom well enough for getting from point A to point B, but I am not seeing any kind of long-term survival strategy here. [TomTom]

Frankenreviewer says:

-"The TomTom One features a supersleek design"
-"...it fits unobtrusively in your pants pocket"
-But what if we could use a little extra down there?
-"...you might expect certain corners to have been cut. You'd be wrong."
-"...all the maps of the United States and Canada are preloaded on the included 1GB SD card"
-"...packed with customization and other options..."
-True, though no text-to-voice function is sort of a biggie.
-"...took just a few seconds to calculate my test routes..."
"It even knew when to avoid major arteries in the city, choosing faster alternatives on surface streets by default."
"...keeps track of your position in conditions where earlier-generation receivers would have lost signal completely."
Like when you are really lost? Tom Hanks making out with a volleyball lost?
-" You can even get bicycle and walking routes."
That's a great tourist feature. Cities should rent them.
-"...a simple solution for getting from point A to point B."
-"...portable enough, accurate enough, easy enough, customizable enough, and—most important—cheap enough..."
Enough.–Mark Wilson
