Apple and TomTom in partnership for real navigation for iPhone
Newlaunches.com — iphone-tomtom-real-navigation1.jpg The TomTom navigation for the iPhone which was a rumor for a long time has finally become a reality. The authentic TomTom navigation application was shown at WWDC and to everyone’s surprise it is pretty slick, though the robotic voice was not that great and appealing. It is expected to be released this summer and there is no mention of price. So if you think this going to be some $20 application that can be downloaded, don’t start counting your chickens yet, because it is not going to be utterly cheap.

Video of TomTom’s iPhone accessory and app
CrunchGear — We saw photos of the TomTom accessory for the iPhone yesterday but now we have video of it. This is basically a little dock with a USB cable and a GPS booster. Not a huge deal but this could feasibly mean the end of standalone GPS devices, which is kind of important. What think you? Would you replace a standalone GPS device with something like this? Do you already use something like this - maybe a BB or a WinMo phone tethered to the dashboard? I

UK retailer Handtec reveals TomTom car kit pricing
iPhonefreak — UK retailer Handtec reveals TomTom car kit pricing We have know about the TomTom Navigation app for the iPhone since back in June , however details such as pricing and availability have since remained a mystery. Well as of now, the pricing of the app is still unknown, however UK retailer Handtec has recently listed the GPS car mount accessory and is showing a price of £113.85 (roughly $195 US). Honestly, that is a bit more than I would be willing to pay, not saying the mount is worth less, just more than I am willing to shell out.

TomTom iPhone App Price Leaked… OUCH!!!
Gear Diary — I’ve happily been using Navigon’s GPS solution on my iPhone 3GS. Sure there are benefits to having a standalone unit but, at least for me, having one integrated solution is the way to go.  What can I say, I like being able to avoid having yet another device in my car. When the Navigon app was released I debated whether or not I should jump on the initial discount that currently has the app for $69.99 or wait until TomTom released or, at a minimum, announced pricing of theirs. After all, the TomTom app had been shown as part of a larger system that included a nice windshield mount that ...

Would You Pay $200 For TomTom's iPhone Car Kit? [GPS]
Gizmodo — We've been waiting for the supposed Summer launch of TomTom's turn-by-turn iPhone app and car kit ever since we saw it at WWDC. Now one UK retailer looks to be taking pre-orders for £113.85 (about $195). I wouldn't take Handtec's pricing as gospel—they seem to have jumped the gun after all—but it does give some insight into what we might expect. The listed price is a little higher than a basic stand alone device costs, but includes the iPhone app itself, along with the GPS-boosting car accessory—complete with windscreen mount, in-car charger, speakers, and hands-free rig. And as we've mentioned in the past, it's not ...

TomTom Releases iPhone App When All We Wanted Was the Car Kit
Gadgets Page — Sygic Mobile Maps US : I purchased this app. When compared to the usability of most iPhone apps, this one is horrible, but when compared to my old Garmin Nuvi, it’s almost as good. Mike and I took a drive from SLC to Denver and had both the Garmin and the Sygic running. The maps were comparable and the directions were clearer than the Garmin at times. As long as I chose a voice that had the letter TTS (text to speech) next to it, the voice would pronounce the street names. The POI (points of interest) were just as useless as my Garmin, so we used the Google Maps feature to find things close by and then plugged the address into the GPS. Best feature was being able to listen to ...
