The TomTom iPhone app is one of the better navigation apps on the App Store, but it just got even better, with the ability to purchase their Star Wars voices within the app. Purchase the app, you shall.
Nintendo nerds, this is your chance. the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, is coming to Australia next week and will be making three in-store appearances. And you can meet him!
The NYTimes’ David Pogue says the Kindle 2′s reading mysterious voice is Tom Glynn, an emo folk singer dude with beautiful hair. Not Tom Cruise, as some have suspected. [Tom Glynn via Pogue's twitter via Jalopnik's Wert]
Holy crap! How did we miss this? If you pity the fool who does the regular Aussie Ken voiceover for your TomTom device, you can kill his jibber-jabber by downloading a suitable replacement – Mr. T.
In his own words: “When you ride with Mr. T, Mr. T gonna get you there in one piece”. He also mentions that he’ll get your kids acting right and you’ll arrive at your destination safely, “or else”. And when Mr. T says “or else”, Mr. T means it.
You can pick up Mr. T’s TomTom voiceover for $16.95 on the TomTom website. If you own a TomTom, you owe it to yourself to buy this.

While I understand why people would want their GPS navigators to give them directions in the voice of KITT or Mr. T, I have no idea who in their right mind would want Kim Cattrall (the old one) from Sex in the City telling them where to go whenever they drive. Not only will her voice remind you of that horrible show every time you need to make a turn, but it’ll throw in annoying non sequiturs like “This is the city, darling. Anything goes” or “Don’t touch my Manolos” at random times for added irritation. Why, oh god can anyone tell me why? Hit the jump for the full release, if you must.
