The $99.99 Pocket Loox GPS I highlighted Friday sold out so fast, I spent a good part of the weekend trolling for a similarly good deal. (That's how much I love you.) Mission accomplished: The Holux GPSmile52 sweetens the pot with its 3.5-inch touchscreen, making it a better car companion. That extra screen estate comes cheap: The GPSmile is available now for $129.99 (after a $10 mail-in rebate).

The specs look pretty solid, including the all-important preloaded maps and SirfstarIII chipset. Plus, a little Google searching revealed that it's possible to unlock this unit and install different GPS software (it's a Windows CE-based device), always a nice option. Plus, it's a new unit, not refurbished--always preferable. If you missed Friday's $99.99 GPS deal, this might be the next best thing.
