Funny that you mention TomTom, as I am developing an interface for a  
turn-by-turn app right now, with the intention of eliminating the  
deficiencies of the current iteration of TomTom hardware. I would not  
call TomTom software 'easy to use': and could go on at length as to why.

Actually, TomTom appears to have fallen out of favour with many  
Americans: for a whole bunch of reasons.

But this is not quite what I was referring to: e-book readers, GPS  
devices, etc - all offer niche products to niche markets. There is a  
wider market for devices that do more things, but well.
