Transcript of FrequencyCast's Update - TomTom Start:

Pete:

So we've got the TomTom ONE and the TomTom GO, they've just announced a new range.

Carl:

Oooh! - what does it do this time?

Pete:

This is called the TomTom START, well naturally, and actually it's TomTom's new entry-level product. The TomTom One was always their basic model, with the GO being their more hi-tech range. The Start has been brought in to compete with some of the lower-end Garmin Nuvi devices that you can get for under £100.

Carl:

So they've done the modern film technique - the prequel to the whole range? We're doing story one, two, three, four - the whole trilogy or whatever has come out, and now we're doing the prequel? - before he became Superman, yeah?

Pete:

Pretty much. So this is a slightly smaller unit than the typical ONE, it's got a 3.5 inch screen, it's got a very basic interface, so it hasn't got all the bells and whistles and weather and live travel and all that, it's quite a basic, "get me from A to B" type navigation, but it does use their IQ maps, which are these clever maps which work out what time of day it is, and whether it's going to be a busy journey or not, which is pretty cool.

Carl:

So it's one for your grandmother for Christmas - it's that what you're trying to tell me?

Pete:

There's six different colours, you can get these Xpress-On Nokia type covers for it, and get it in six colours now. So, how much, do you think?

Carl:

Oh well, if it's an easy one - £155, maximum?

Pete:

It's £120 for the UK version, or around about £150 for the European version. (Try Play.com)

Carl:

So, that's all right? - you get a bit of change.

Pete:

There you go, and I found something very nice for you, while I was on the TomTom site researching this, they now have a new official voiceover that you can download for your TomTom.

Carl:

Is it mine?

Pete:

It's not, it's Homer Simpson.

Carl:

Doh! Doh! So, he'll be able to find his way home to Springfield, quite easily now?

Pete:

That's the one, download it from the TomTomTomTomTom website.

Carl:

Naturally, yes.

The TomTom Start is available from Play.com and Argos
