TomTom for iPhone – pricing revealed?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It was announced back in March at the Apple Developers Conference, but until now further details have been very few and far between.. Until now.

We already know that the software and the car cradle will be available separately, and we’re now hearing that the car cradle will retail for around £115, but there is no news yet as to whether this includes the software or not.

UPDATE: TomTom for UK is available now in the iTunes App store for £59.99. No confirmed pricing yet on the car kit. iTunes Link.

  1. EasyPort Mount from the TomTom ONE and TomTomXL
  2. Built In Speaker
  3. Volume Control
  4. Microphone for handsfree calling
  5. Mini USB Charging Connector
  6. Audio Line out (for connecting to Car Stereo)

Sources are also confirming that a separate model will be available for the iPod touch.

We’ve not yet been able to confirm any of this yet with our suppliers, and we’ll post again as soon as we know more.

On a similar note, the rumour mill is also suggesting that CoPilot Live 8 is on its way to the App Store and will be available some time next week for around £26. UPDATE: CoPilot Live 8 is available now from the AppStore – iTunes Link

Decisions decisions…£60+the cost of the car kit for TomTom, £26 for CoPilot…
