Everyone knows I am a TomTom fan – their clear mapping and UI are a boon when you are navigating, and their software support (e.g. traffic, speed cameras) is good too. So I was pleased to hear about the launch of the Go 930, because it’s got a stack of features:
* IQ Routes™ technology
* Advanced Lane Guidance
* Easy access to traffic information
* TomTom Map Share™ technology
* Enhanced Positioning Technology
* Voice address input
* Hands-free calling
* Built-in FM transmitter
There are some neat tricks within this lot – I like the IQ Routes™ feature, since it guides your route around congested areas at time of peak traffic. Equally neat is the option to save your music on the device, then have it transmit FM signal to your car radio – so you can have your latest tooonz on the move. Lane guidance is something else I dearly wish I had on my now ageing TomTom One!
Anyway, if you want to know more about the device, go here. If you want to buy one, there are good prices to be found on the InterWeb

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
