I know Garmin has a BB version of their software for $99 (unlimited) which I think is a good deal, considering they rock. I really love the Nuvi's... and would like to see the nuviphone, but, if I can have my choice of what nav I put on the iphone... choice will always rule over.]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/

Not to mention the fact that if you want to put all the maps on your phone it is going to take gigs and gigs of space. Yet another reason that it was incredibly foolish of Apple to not up the ante on storage on the 3G version.]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
United States maps for a garmin only take up about 1 gig thats really not terribly bad considering all that you get. ]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
As far as price goes... My feeling is that they'll make the base software price fairly small ($30?), but then charge a subscription for map access, and other extras like live traffic routing and gas-station locations. I'd pay $100 a year for perpetually up to date maps...

Actually my biggest concern would be the potential for user-generated map data. GPS 2.0 for the lose. Give me cartographers for my money dammit! :P]]>Jun 20th 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/Jun 13th 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
Not to invite bashing comments, but for those that have not used MSN Live on windows mobile 6 with gps, you are really missing out on a smooth operating product. traffic, gas prices, movie listings, directory, add to contacts, VOICE Search (like 411, but just say the name of the place in my phone), turn-by-turn (non-voice) directions... all with a few pushes of the button (ya. i know. no touchscreen... how uncool of me). been enjoying using this feature (which makes my phone worth its price all by itself) for over a year now.

good day all.

When Apple (or someone clever like HTC) comes out with something that LOOKS like and iPhone and does all that, call me and I'll go buy it (and I'm not talking about the Chinese knock-offs)]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/

What phone are you talking about? Because the iPhone does have bluetooth. And it does have a speakerphone, which also makes it pretty handsfree once you establish a call.

And who the hell cares about SD slots? 16GB not enough for you?

Actually, now that I saw you called it iFlop, I should have known you are a troll and talking out of your ass...]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
Basically every new car has or will have GPS nav as either standard or an option.

Why buy a stand alone unit if your car already has it? Or you can get 90% of the functionality from your cell phone?

Yup, Symbian have had it for ages.

I think the iPhone app store is a really good idea but it's kind of depressing when people seem to think that it's a new idea.]]>Jun 14th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/

The sdk is only available only on the mac platform. This means that thousands of windows developers like myself cannot develop native applications (web apps can't cut it). Apple is also determining what types of applications can be used on the iphone (without jailbreaking). Locked into itunes, locked into at&t, etc.

You should keep an eye out for a more open platform (android, openmoko). You should also read: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone :)]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
I know your loins are aching like hell for that fancy-looking QWERTY keyboard, but unless you can put it down and type, it's just an awkward mess to hold. Heck, it doesn't even have WiFi. Nah, forget the X1. Probably the only people that will buy it will be a few Japanese loyal to the Sony name.]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/tomtom-speaks-up-about-iphone-situation/
"The X1 then, brings a 3-inch wide VGA (800 x 480) touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera (with photo light), A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD -- just 400MB on board."

Please God, tell me you're not passing up developing Apps for iPhone because you can't afford a Mac Mini to play with. Maybe this Software Dev thing isn't gonna work out. May I suggest a career at Jack in the Box?]]>Jun 13th 2008 11:02PM
