I seemed like Tom Tom was going to get the exclusive shot at doing a turn by turn for the iPhone but this may not be the case. GPS maniac has an article describing the blessing of another app from another company and it is only 35 bucks.
Already available in the UK and soon to be here "shortly".
I read that Tom Toms device is actually going to have it's own GPS chip installed.. which means it will just be another GPS with the diff. being that it incorporates the iPhone and charges the iPhone. And it won't be $35.00
This is just something I ran across lately.. I'll see if I can find the/a link.
the TomTom car kit that offers secure docking, enhanced GPS performance, clear voice instructions and hands-free calling, while charging your iPhone at the same time.

Some cool apps coming out
Tom Tom looks good too just not sure about that windshield mount ? I mean you have the rear view mirror already where do you mount that like right in front of your face ? Maybe a dash mount would work better
Yeah, the whole mount Tom Tom method is going to be ten times the cost. Nice to have hands free and hopefully also play through your car speakers easily but for the price they are going to be asking you get a GPS with a small screen.
I'll try the 35 dollar one first. That one looks to be very usable walking around without any mount.
