[Skizza]

Here it is, "officially" announced today. New features sound dope, I see why 510 & 710 prices dropped so much.

Looks like this unit maybe aimed at the Work/fleet market.

a built-in mobile phone sim slot so users can phone directly from the device

Wow, that is cool. So does that mean I can put in my sim card from my phone and it will load up my contacts? If thats the case thats great, I won't have to do a sync.

Although geared towards large organisations that need to track and communicate with drivers across Europe, the technology could soon find its way into the consumer models

It'll probably be awhile before we can actually buy one if we wanted it

TomTom WEBFLEET; a web-based tracking and tracing service that monitors and guides vehicles and staff, as well as managing and planning business

This sounds interesting.

It is more aimed at the work market.
Im kinda disappointed they didn't improve on the design with the unit and the mount.

Yes, I totally agree with not improving the design. Aside from the new features, I think people would be more excited about the deivce if it looked better.

Where's the ONE XL?!!!!!

Yeah, that kind of slid under the radar. I don't think there was any news annouced recently other than knowing what its called.

that thing is nasty looking!!! I still like my small form factor ONE (v3)

Again, I totally agree.

Um, Battom, do you have something to tell us? Did you (and how) get a v3 ONE with the Hammerhead chipset?
