TomTom demonstrates the world’s first dedicated in-car navigation solution for iPhone at WWDC

TomTom develops turn-by-turn navigation application and new car kit for the iPhone

Peter-Frans Pauwels, TomTom’s co-founder and CTO, demonstrated TomTom’s navigation software in combination with a specially designed car kit on the iPhone- during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on June 8th, 2009.
The TomTom solution combines two new TomTom products to provide users with state of the art in-car navigation on their iPhone 3G:

• The TomTom navigation application for iPhone; an Apple version of TomTom’s award-winning turn-by-turn navigation software, including IQ Routes and latest maps from Tele Atlas;
• The TomTom car kit for iPhone; a specially developed car kit for secure docking, enhanced GPS performance, clear voice instructions, hands-free calling and in-car charging.

The TomTom navigation application for iPhone will be available via the Apple iTunes App Store, following the release of Apple’s OS 3.0 operating system. Details regarding pricing and availability for both the application and the TomTom car kit for iPhone will be made available in advance of the products’ launch later this summer.

Any guesses on how much this app will cost?

 

[Strike Swiftly]

I am researching atm. Cannot seem to find a definitive price anywhere. Guessing between $99 and $199. Wont be more than a stand alone device. Wont be cheap though.

 

[doggies ftw]

Jailbreak and get it for free

 

[Strike Swiftly]

no thanks

This will suck.

No multitasking so what happens when you get a call? The application quits like all other apps on the phone? Screw that.

At least a dedicated device with phone support handles the phone call properly.

I heard somewhere that is was going to be around the $40 mark. It would have to be very competitively priced considering how cheap the stand alone devices are becoming.

EDIT* When I heard this price it definitely did not include the stand and power adaptor.

That would be an interesting price point. I'd throw down 40 bucks before going on holiday to get maps of the destination.
