Bonnie Cha was a former chief correspondent for CNET Crave, covering every kind of tech toy imaginable (with a special obsession for robots and Star Wars-related stuff).

- New design
- Larger 4-inch LCD touch screen
- Hands-free-calling functionality
- Full integrated MP3 player (and hey, it works with the iPod)
- TomTom Home dock and software for managing, downloading, and storing additional content from your computer
- Text-to-speech functionality for spoken text messages
- In a first, the TomTom GO 910 will include maps of the United States, Canada, and all of Europe
In addition, the company announced some new enhancements to its TomTom Plus service, which provides weather and traffic information.
