The Navigon iPhone Navigation application has been in the iTunes App store for some time now. Although this is a good seller it is not so useful if you have no way to mount the iPhone in your car. There have been a number of very good third party mounts available for some time now, [...]
Navigon iPhone car mount
Whilst I was at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin I met with the guys from Navigon who told me about a new mount that is to be available in October. This mount is based on the award winning PND mount with an interchangeable holder for the iPhone. Whilst it is not an active mount (having an integral power connector) it does come with a cigar lighter power adapter and charging cable. Continue reading »

Spotted in the New Zealand iTunes App Store yesterday it seemed pretty clear that the launch had begun and at some time early this morning TomTom for iPhone finally materialised in the UK AppStore.

We all knew it was coming but ‘when?’ was the $64million question. Spotted in the New Zealand iTunes App Store yesterday it seemed pretty clear that the launch had begun and at some time early this morning TomTom for iPhone finally materialised in the UK AppStore.
There isn’t a lot to add really, the interface looks very similar to that which was used on the TomTom Mobile App that used to exist and it features multi-touch integration making full use of iPhone gestures for operation and map zoom etc.
Navigation to address book contacts is also included as well as IQ routing. But notable by its omission is any form of LIVE connected services. This is a phone, a phone with out of the box data bundles and connectivity so why the heck has the opportunity to bundle the LIVE service features been omitted?

Best of all, ALK have matched the price of CoPilot in the Android Market store, at £25.99 it’s very reasonable. So reasonable that as I’ve a long drive ahead of me later today I’ve gone and bought it.
