I think whats even more interesting is the fact that TomTom announced they had nav software working on the iphone LAST SUMMER (2008) for testing but were unsure of how their relationship with apple would turn out. That would lead me to believe the software is complete but they are waiting on something they don't have yet that will come in 3.1.
Got a tip for us?

I'm gonna give XRobskiX at least 24 hours to answer back with info on his sources...and boy, do I hope he does...
These days it seems like everyone has an insider at TomTom...except me...
This would be a remarkable move. Basically this would say that they want market share, and our TBT software is worth nothing (or at least, next to nothing). Haven't they reported (or is it rumor) that the dock alone would be this price?
Software alone $10? $20? WOW. What's the name of this site again?
You just failed....
£99... so the software could be £70 and the accessory £29.
Makes sense to me.
would you like pie with that crow...look for Tom Tom in the US Sept 3..
I still have yet to see any proof besides two people saying something on a forum.
Your right there is no link to back it up it's straight from someone in at TomTom a good friend of mine who is involved with the app program

HERE IS THE PROOF http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/2126/tomtom-for-iphone-inc-mount
It is actually £99 PLUS VAT = £113.85
^^ I figured the dock itself would be priced sort of high. A low price point on a dock that has enhanced GPS, speaker, charger, etc. for $30 seemed quite low. I'm just wondering if they're going to include the App if you buy the accessory for $100 bucks or if they're somehow going to bundle it. We'll see though. All that we can do is speculate.
Good luck, I'll stay with Navigon, it's provided me with what TomTom hasn't and has therefore won against TomTom.
I bought Navigon for this years vacation, I'll get TomTom for next year's vacation, I'll keep the one I like best after trying them both.
£113 = US$191. That's expensive, almost 3 times the price of Navigon.
Nevermind. Thought it was pounds.

Well, if you go with navigon, you've wasted at least £50... with TomTom, then around the same.
Maps will always be updating with each app, so it really doesn't make a difference, also, Navigon are leaning towards not making you pay for maps

My guess is they'll all charge for map updates, on a yearly basis.
We'll see, it's everyone's first year in the iPhone, but TomTom making us wait so long for their app? not good for me at all.
nope have it from a good source that Navigon will not charge for map updates
Yep, that looks good
That is indeed expensive
and rumors to be released to September? Hopefully not. Go early before Aug 15!
