For the Car or the Wayward Dad: TomTom ONE XL-S Portable GPS

It used to be that when driving in a new area with a passanger (say, a spouse) and you couldn't find your exact location, an arguement typically ensued. Alas, GPS devices are now saving marriages across the world. The latest release from TomTom is the TomTom ONE XL-S. TomTom released the ONE gps with extreme fanfare, touted as a high perforance GPS navigator at a fraction of the cost of the top of line devices. TomTom went a step further by releasing the TomTom ONE XL which incorporated a larger wide screen for those tired of peering at micro lcd screens while attempting to drive. Now, the Tom Tom ONE XL-S adds Text-to-Speech navigation so you can keep your eyes on the road when in heavy traffic. The voice guides you turn-by-turn and even speaks street names. You can also download celebrity voices from TomTom such as Mr. T and Burt Reynolds so you can feel like the A-Team is right there in the passanger seat.
