$200? That's brilliant, considering you can buy an entire Garmin GPS unit for $100 that's smaller than this setup and would leave your iPhone available for calls and music playback while your navigating.

Stop being such a lemming and realize that companies make things better when you say what you want instead of just taking whatever they give you. When you start unquestionably grabbing whatever they make and fervently fight against anyone that speaks of improvements, you make the company act worse off. This should be common sense to you.

for those of us who currently wield the sledgehammer and stick to oldspeak, "unjailbreak" is simply "lockup".

It is not a case of newspeak at all, it is a case of understanding that "jailbreak" (as a one-word verb) has come to mean something, a singular process, in the tech world. It is a word that must be thought of differently than "escape" because it has a completely different (and much more focussed) meaning.

Therefore, while "lockup" might be acceptable when referring to an "escape", when referring to a "jailbreak", the undoing of that is correctly called "un-jailbreaking" because (get this) you are "un"doing the "jailbreak". Note that "lockup" is too general-purpose, whereas "un-jailbreak" correctly identifies the exact action taken.

Also, you are not locking something up - you are undoing the freeing of it. Although they look like the same thing, they are not, and anyone as literate as you ought to have sufficient grounding in grammar and language to know that, xplode.]]>Aug 7th 2009 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/Aug 6th 2009 5:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/Aug 6th 2009 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/

I spend a lot of time in the car on the phone (BT HF of course!), seems like useless time if I don't do anything - this would seem just a little preventative.]]>Aug 6th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/I too am concerned about this TomTom app and mount costing more than a stand-alone GPS, but this reporting is sh*t. Of course the iPhone can multitask the phone app. How ridiculous an Apple/TomTom hater are you? The TomTom app is supposed to allow you to take calls while GPS is running according to TomTom at WWDC. The cradle also has a GPS antenna built in to boost the GPS reception. The US price is not likely to be $194, but I would not be surprised at $125-150, which is similar to the Palm OS TomTom app with cradle from 3 years ago. Now there a ton of unanswered questions about this app and mount, so I think the sensible post would not pass judgment until there is an actual product. Lets talk features when the thing gets released. This post and the subsequent Apple hater comments are just absurd. ]]>Aug 6th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/

I don't think so. The cradle is only supposed to boost the GPS signal - I don't think it includes a GPS chip. However, if the new iPod Touch includes GPS then I see no reason why it won't work with the TomTom solution.]]>Aug 6th 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/Aug 6th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/Aug 6th 2009 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/+1

Ok... so you take your iPhone with you... but you leave the TomTom dock hooked to the windshield. The iPhone/TomTom dock is still pretty expensive to replace.

Bottom line... take any GPS/dock off the dash, and wipe of the rings. If a crook sees suction cup rings... they still might break into your car and look for a GPS you left under the seat.]]>Aug 6th 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/tomtoms-iphone-car-kit-and-navigation-software-priced-overseas/Surely you take your phone with you. Anyone that dumb probably deserves to loose their equipment

ever reached for your phone and realized you left it somewhere.. possible scenario.. you left it on the charger in the car? its not the person is dumb and it does happen. the point was leaving it attached and highly visible to a windshield vs in a center console charging makes it a higher odds of it being stolen.
