Hands-on with the TomTom GO 920

If you've used a TomTom device recently, these photos will look shockingly familiar to you. Like a crime scene in a 1980's Charles Bronson flick, there's nothing to see here, folks. You're looking at the TomTom GO 920, sure, but there are pretty much no differences between this and the GO 720, save for a feature which the company refers to as "Enhanced Positioning Technology" (which uses an accelerometer to maintain your course, even out of satellite range). Regardless, we snapped some pics of the little dude, and we'd be hurt if you didn't at least take a peak.

"Enhanced Positioning Technology" (which uses an accelerometer to maintain your course, even out of satellite range) - AKA Dead Reckoning

This should allow it to maintain some semblance of navigation when the going (signal wise) gets rough, so nav'ing around the concrete canyons might actually be possible now.

Any reason why the Mobile screen says 720 and not 920?

Yea Doesn't the 920 have speech to text for inputting addresses in the US. I believe the 720 may have, but only in other areas.

I understood that the 920 also had European maps and more memory (to hold 'em).

I understand the 920 is due for release in the US before the end of 2007. Is this the same for Australia and is there a more accurate release date?

Pretty poor reporting there Joshua. You claim this is the 920, yet your pictures say it's a 720. You say the only difference between the 920 and the 720 is the Enhanced Positioning Technology, and that's not true either. For the US version, voice prompted address entry options will be included. It also comes loaded with maps of the US, Western and Central Europe, and Canada. The 920 will have 4GB internal flash memory, opposed to the 2GB that the 720 will have. These are just the differences between the 920 and the 720; though the 920 wasn't created to replace the 720, it was created to replace the 510/910 model.

Please do a little more research before you make a claim like that Joshua. You seem very biased on your opinions. I used to think endgadget was fair on what they reported on.
