New Magellan Premium GPS Car Kit for iPhone / iPod Touch

[reddawg]

Magellan will be releasing a GPS car kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch for about $130 next month. While the Megaellan GPS car kit is a little pricey, it definitely beats the TomTom car kit in features and functionality. I found this on Amazon.com's website.

Magellan car kit is definitely cool. I like that someone finally designed a car kit that will fit most hard and soft cases for the iPhone. As much as I like it, Magellan is making the same mistake that TomTom made, which is pricing it too high. If it was priced between $69 -$79, I would be interested. Not many people are going to purchase a GPS navigation app for $89 or $99 and then drop another $130. You would think Magellan would have learned from TomTom's mistake.

Why post when you having nothing useful to contribute. I thought it was noteworthy because finally someone made a powered dock with GPS enhancement that supports iPhone's with hard and soft cases. Obviously, the price is ridiculous.

I believe One1 is just making a joke about the price. He is recommending using Duct Tape for your iPhone mount, rather than paying $130.

Or maybe I missed his joke altogether
