Might have heard about this baby for quite some time now. It was officially released sometime within the last 2 weeks by Eclipse. What you get for $499.99? A detachable TomTom GPS Navigation Unit, iPOD USB connectivity. Bluetooth Calling functionality, and so on to name a few. Might not be the prettiest of them, but it’s a price to beat. More info, check Eclipse.
