    TomTom already has iPhone navigation software ready to roll

    Seems TomTom has been working hard getting an app for the app store ready, no word on when it will be available, but and I quote "We have tried, and it worked." "Our navigation system runs on the iPhone already"



    Here's some sources for you:

      i'd assume you'd need to have the iphone 3G... however... with them saying "We have tried, and it worked." "Our navigation system runs on the iPhone already"... what other phone would they be able to test this on than the original iphone?

      I wouldnt worry about what the SDK agreement says, im sure Apple did that on purpose because they prolly struck a deal with TomTom and want them as the sole supply. Plus Apple always puts weird things in their clauses. When itunes came out there was a clause not to use it to make nuclear weapons

      It's most likely to keep Navngo out of business (they had their software ready months ago): http://www.modmyi.com/forums/native-...ng-iphone.html
