New TomTom Rider, v2

[tcfjr]

I'm very happy with my Zumo 550, but saw this come across the wire on Engadget and thought someone might be interested:

We knew the RIDER 2nd Edition couldn't be far off, given the PR leakage a few months ago, but TomTom is finally fessing up to the new motorcycle-centric model. The 2nd Edition RIDER brings with it a new waterproof design, redesigned rugged "RAM" mount and bike dock, in-helmet Bluetooth headset for working phone calls and listening to spoken instructions off of the device and an optional car setup kit for boring four wheel usage. The unit runs a 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen, 380MHz processor, 32MB of RAM, pre-loaded 1GB SD card with US and Canada maps, and measures two inches thick. Of course, none of this rugged GPS action comes cheap: the RIDER 2nd Edition will run you $700 at retail, and is available now.

Well, the posts were only five minutes apart - not long enough for my search to find his entry.

Great minds think alike. Not that I want a Tom Tom. But I do like to check out Engadget from time to time. Gadgets are COOL!

Yeah, I just had to bust his chops a bit.
