It already seems pricey to me, so I'd expect the price to come down if anything ;)

I grabbed the navigon app at $69, which is an intro price, and couldn't be happier. Just an alternative option...

At $100 I would suspect TomTom won't go up, but it may go down.

Isn't TomTom one of the companies that charge for a Map update each year?

Yes and I can see every update they do have a charge to it.

If you choose to do it yearly. They actually charge more for an annual update than the subscription based map update which is four times a year.

Annual: $80
Subscription: $40

That's only for standalone GPS devices, not for cellphone apps.
It's the first time in history that TomTom make apps for a cellphone.

We still don't know.

The more nav apps there are the better chance that the price will go down especially if the others are better. Competition is good.

Why does mine say US I want it to say tomtom

What did I say above.... I don't like to repeat myself you know... mine too says UK - Ireland, and I'd prefer it to say TomTom, but it's their decision.

They raise the price and they are crazy. I think they did some studying and priced it at the top of the range. It's a shame, because they are chasing off casual users like me. I was hoping to get the app and car dock for about $150, but I am reading it will be $200. They aren't going to get my business, and it's a bummer because I really want to buy it, just a bit high IMHO.
TOMTOM has shown a lack of experience in selling a product like this one, very poor communications. Making customers like me think twice about buying a product from them when they don't announce anything with regards to future support, upgrades, map update pricing, etc.
