Dual Electronics iPod touch GPS dock ships at long last

It took a little longer than expected, but the first major docking solution to transform ones iPod touch into a full fledged navigating machine is now shipping directly from Apple. Dual Electronics' XGPS300 was originally announced way back in November of last year, and after a minor hiccup in January, we're finally able to plop down $199.95 to snag a window-sucking cradle with an inbuilt GPS receiver, rechargeable battery, amplified speaker and NavAtlas US / Canada map app. So, what'll it be? This, or one of those perfectly acceptable $99 PNDs? If you're smart, you'll tune in next week for our review before making any rash decisions.

Hmmm... sounds like turning your ipod into... well, an iphone for as much as an iphone.

@Jimbojones Well I live in PA and all PA drivers with toll easypass have them on the front windshield. I also use my GPS on my windshield and have never been pull over. Are you sure you were on PA?

@bigsofty
RoqyBT is a BT stack for jail broken iPod Touch. It works great with my Holux GPS receiver. You will still need to buy GPS software tho, which is at least $100...
They should sell this thing for $150, than it would make some sense...
