From the I-shit-you-not category of awesomeness, a company named TomTom (I’m not big into GPS stuff so this might be commonplace for you in the know, but this is the awesomest company name ever) brings you Mr T. On your GPS. This should be standard on ALL GPS devices from now on. Mandated by law. If you somehow become weary of listening to Mr T, you could choose John Cleese. As long as he doesn’t say ‘NI!’
via TomTom XL 340S GPS | Wired.com Product Reviews:
Speaking of voices, the celeb vocals (like the aforementioned John Cleese and Mr. T) cost $13 apiece, but you can choose from loads of user-created freebies as well. You can even add your own vocals if you’re feeling narcissistic. Just one problem: If you choose any voice other than “Susan, English U.S.,” you lose out on the 340S’s text-to-speech capability. That’s understandable (we pity the fool who thinks Mr. T will record every street and highway name on the continent), but it’s still disappointing.

But it is a USB flash drive! I’m only surprised that it took USB manufacturers this long to think of it. Great idea, awful name.
