TomTom is teaming up with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products add Home Simpson’s voice to its iPhone app, marking the first time a celebrity voice has ever been available for mobile phone based GPS.
Not sure whether you’ll hear Homer’s famous “D’oh!” when you miss the right turn, but you can expect to hear Homer congratulating you for reaching the final destination. He will say: “Woo Hoo! You have reached your destination, and you can hold your head up high, because you are a genius!” Love it!
The question is whether Homer’s voice is worth $5.99. I think it is as your driving will be way more fun.
In addition, TomTom also launched the new maps (version 1.7) alongside the “Homer update.” The new TomTom app provides drivers with up to date maps and keeps maps fresh with TomTom Map Share, by making their own corrections, while simultaneously and automatically benefiting from verified corrections made by other TomTom users every day.
