TomTom ONE 130-S review
http://gpstracklog.typepad.com/ gps_tracklog/ 2008/ 08/ tomtom-one-130.html
The TomTom ONE 130-S updates the TomTom ONE 3rd edition, with a new design that features a built-in mount called the EasyPortTM, that stows on the back of the device. The TomTom ONE 130-S sports a 3.5" wide screen. The S in the name refers to text-to-speech, so you'll hear "turn right, Oak Street," instead of just "turn right," which is what you'll get if you drop down to the TomTom ONE 130. Compare prices on the TomTom ONE 130-S The major changes to this model from the TomTom ONE 3rd edition are the new form factor, re-designed speaker, and text-to-speech.

Amazing GPS sale at REI.com thru December 1
http://bestgpsdeals.net/amazing-gps-sale-at-reicom-thru-dece...This one surprised me. REI isn’t typically known for discounting products, but they’ve got some great GPS deals from Nov. 21 to Dec. 1. And by the way, shipping is $4.99 for members and everything carries REI’s ironclad guarantee. On to the deals. The first six in particular are amazing. All Amazon comparison prices are as of 11/19. Garmin nuvi 500 GPS - $299.99. A “crossover unit” that does double duty on the road or on the trail. I wasn’t that impressed when I tried it, but there have been some firmware updates to improve it since then. This unit was $386 when I checked it at Amazon. (Review) Garmin nuvi 255 Personal Travel Assistant - $174.99. A text-to-speech unit in the nuvi series that I called “the best entry level GPS on the market.” $199 at Amazon when I checked. (Review) Garmin Forerunner 50 - $63.99. A non-GPS heart rate monitor. $82 at Amazon. Garmin Forerunner 305 - $199.99. Great for runners. $278 at Amazon. (Review) TomTom ONE 125 - $99.99. $162 at Amazon. A stripped down version of the TomTom ONE 130 (see below). I would expect no more than 2-3 million points of interest (POIs). TomTom Go 730 GPS Receiver - $349.99. TomTom’s next to the top of the line unit; with voice entry. $278 at Amazon. (Review) TomTom ONE 130 GPS Receiver - $149.99. TomTom’s newest entry-level GPS. Same price at Amazon. (Review) TomTom ONE 130-S GPS Receiver - $199.99. Adds text-to-speech. Same price at Amazon. (Review) TomTom XL 330 GPS Receiver - $199.99. Bumps the screen size to 4.3″ No text to speech. Same price at Amazon. (Review) TomTom XL 330 -S GPS Receiver - $249.99. Text-to-speech and 4.3″ wide screen. Same price at Amazon. (Review)

TomTom XL 330 review
http://www.gpstracklog.com/gps_tracklog/2008/11/tomtom-xl-33...The TomTom XL 330 updates the TomTom ONE XL with a new design that includes a built-in mount, dubbed the EasyPortTM, that stows on the back of the device. Other than the form factor and re-designed speaker though, this new entry level model is almost identical to its older sibling. The TomTom XL 330 sports a nice 4.3" wide touch screen, but it doesn't have text-to-speech, so you'll hear "turn right" instead of "turn right, Oak Street." For that, you'll have to upgrade to TomTom XL 330-S. Otherwise, these two models have the same feature set, so rather than repeat everything here, I'm going to refer you to my hands on review of the TomTom XL 330-S for all the details. Compare prices on the TomTom XL 330 The TomTom ONE 130 and 130-S offer the same features as the XL 330 series, albeit with a smaller 3.5" screen. All of the above units come with pre-loaded maps of the U.S. and Canada. To see how the XL 330 compares to other TomTom units, check out my TomTom comparison chart.
