price estimate is up to $200 dollars for the adapter.

app price is $99.99

Garmon GPS with similar features is 150.00

Hmm, I'm not sure where you are from but here in reality, adults also have to make their beds and take the trash out.

Anyway, that article states that although they are stopping their PND business, they were increasing their business in mobile phone applications]]>Aug 28th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/

This one is a BlueTooth hands free system with separate SiRF chip to give my iPhone GPS capabilities like my standalone unit, but now I don't have to manage 2 devices to carry around.

How are these even REMOTELY similar except for the fact they hold your iPhone and can carge it?]]>Aug 29th 2009 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/Aug 28th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/Aug 29th 2009 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/
In the promo video for the Car Kit, the iPhone and 'holster' rotate counterclockwise. However, that means the side with all the connectors for power and aux. are facing up. Does anyone know if it can rotate the other way?]]>Aug 28th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/tomtoms-car-kit-for-iphone-hits-the-fcc/

This way, the iPhone can have a)better GPS reception, and b)actually work as a full-time in-car GPS on long trips. I won't have to worry when I get out in Sackville, Nova Scotia, that my iPhone is dead, and needs some power CPR.]]>Aug 28th 2009 1:09PM
