Darth Vader joins TomTom Voices Line-Up
Article by: Darren Griffin
Date: 4 May 2010
 Oh dear. TomTom have now announced Darth Vader has joined the list of celebrity voice downloads with more Star Wars characters yet to come including C3PO, Yoda and Han Solo in a partnership with Lucasfilm Ltd and VoiceSkins.com,
Many owners will be wondering why TomTom are spending so much time on what are little more than bells and whistles when so many issues remain in the devices themselves.
So whilst I'm sure we all wished they would concentrate on getting HD Traffic working properly and correcting the issues with map corrections and IQ-Routes slow downs, you will instead have to content yourselves with the prospect of a lovely Vader voice for the princely sum of £7.99.
You can hear samples of the Darth Vader voice at starwars.tomtom.com/voices/.

Have to agree.
I suppose I've tried about a dozen of these voices over the last few years, and quickly get bored with them and go back to the originals.
The best one I had was Clint Eastwood, I thought it was pretty good, but in the end I got fed up with "You have reached your destination - Punk!"
Probably still on the TT come to think of it.

Would be better without the forced movie quotes. Just do the voice.

seems a little bit pointless, they have been available for years by third parties and freely avalaible, I personally only use sharon, perhaps a case of Tomtom being behind as usual, and should concentrate more on map updates.
