TomTom DUO to hit CeBIT, tout handsfree calling

Fresh deets on TomTom's forthcoming GPS are starting to flow in, and hopefully we'll know about all there is to know by the time this unit shows off on the CeBIT floor. While we'd been led on by the FCC leaks seen just hours ago, it looks like TomTom's marketing department took the easy route with regard to titling, as they've purportedly settled for TomTom DUO. Quite literally one-upping the ONE, this squared-off handheld GPS will reportedly play nice with TomTom's PLUS services, support handsfree calling over Bluetooth, and of course, offer up an elusive (albeit enticing) interaction with a docking station. The dock is suggested to include an FM transmitter for piping navigation audio throughout your vehicle's sound system, as well as allowing external DAPs to be heard through more than just a built-in tweeter, but we're still waiting to see if TomTom plans on this being a standalone unit or if it fits better integrated into one's dash. Per usual, keep it here for (more) emerging information.

The Duo seems more interesting...

I am sure this is the untit that we saw a few months ago that will be integrated into OEM double din audio by major car makers?

If the bluetooth only supports DUN, well...that would really suck. Stupid MSFT.

Aaron, its not msft's fault your provider locked your phone.. bish at your cell provider

this looks exactly like the Eclipse model (referred to as including the TomTom ONE) announced/shown at CES (I believe) in January.

[Aaron @ Feb 28th 2007 8:20PM]

I thought that ALL WM6 and WM6 devices have DUN taken out and replaced with PAN.

[Aaron @ Feb 28th 2007 8:22PM]

Errr..I meant WM5 and WM6

[MasterCKO @ Feb 28th 2007 9:03PM]

nope. My WM5 unit works just fine with DUN profile. I use it all the time.

Probably the Duo will work the same way in controlling an iPod or a USB connected Mp3 player trough the dock or a cable.
