TomTom GPS app comes to iPhone and iPod touch
Computerworld Blogs - Macintosh & Apple —
TomTom is finally on the iPhone as of Midnight last night. Coming in at around the equivalent of $100 globally, it is the biggest turn-by-turn app to hit the iPhone platform since its inception. It is certainly a better product than what AT&T has on offer . I say platform because it is also available on the iPod touch, if you buy the Car kit which has its own GPS built in. These devices won't have access to the online features (unless you are lucky enough to be near a Wifi access point).

Especially when you consider you have to buy the $100 App too.
Even newer Tomtoms with screens almost an inch bigger than the iPhone's cost about the same as the mounting kit alone.
Can someone explain to us why you'd want to use your iPhone as a GPS rather than just buying a (cheaper, bigger, better) stand alone unit?
