No real information on this one beyond a few pics. We know it’ll be a GPS (duh it’s TomTom), SD, Bluetooth dialing and voice SMS and interface changes. It’ll also have a new docking system that will allow you to cradle your TomTom and use it to control an iPod or USB storage device.

I’ll never buy another TomTom product. The devices themselves are fine, but the company’s customer service policies are terrible. I own an original TomTom GO+. When the touchscreen went out of calibration, and after taking 2 weeks to get back to me for an emergency repait (I was on the road, and needed the device), they told me that the repair would cost $500.
Because, you see, they CAN’T fix a touchscreen - they have to replace my entire device. Riiiiight.
My 10 year old Palm Pilot had the functionality to re-calibrate the touchscreen. For a, then, $1,000 device this is horrible. And for a company that’s produced such a device to not fix the problem is in-excusable. I’ll never buy anything from these turkey ever again.

TomTom Eclipse AVN2210p
Describing the TomTom Eclipse takes on two aspects, one is the overall unit itself and the other is the PND. The overall device is what is known in automotive circles as “Double DIN”. So if you have an existing Double DIN sized stereo, or room for one, it will likely fit in your vehicle.
On the top left is an audio display which will show you the current radio station, CD track, or other interactive feedback such as setting the bass level or other sound quality settings. In the middle of the left side is round four way button which resembles the round button on an iPod. This is used to advance tracks, switch radio stations, etc. Rotating that dial changes the volume. Surrounding the dial are buttons to change the music source, power the device on and off, select a different band, as well as a handy mute button.
Most of the right side of the device is where the TomTom GPS snaps into place. There is a quick-release button on the right which when pressed will pop the GPS off the radio stack so you can take it with you. Along the bottom is a reset switch, microphone and a USB port. The USB port enables you to connect a USB stick (not included) loaded with MP3 or WMA music files. You can then use the TomTom Eclipse as a music player reading off of the USB stick.
