i think they look weird... cos they made it look like someone's gone and made a DIY mount for the tomtom because instead of integrating the whole thing into a coherent/single design, it still looks like they stuck a tomtom onto a headunit. :S

as for ebay electronics.. i've learnt that what looks good on paper doesn't always translate into what u expect when u get it in the mail. this would probably apply even moreso to items which require substantial amounts of user interaction (i.e. a good interface). try a chinese-designed mobile phone for example and compare it to nokia/SE/etc... the interface may look pretty in screenshots......
