TomTom Prices iPhone Car Kit

I think this is just the difficulty that companies have with adapting to changes in the market. Tomtom came from a hardware/software business and so the hardware division will want to continue, not be made redundant by mobile phones. However, they'll work it out soon enough and they will have to adapt. In time, the software will be their main focus and eventually they'll stop making hardware and either drop or price reasonably their cradle.

@ilovethemonkeyhead, interesting point made, though, the iphone 3g/3gs has a crap gps.

I would take your IPhone back to the shops, my IPhone3g is smack on, no problems whatever. Last week used Co-Pilot to to Center Parcs at Longleat a round trip of 580 miles, Co-Pilot quit a few times but the GPS had a perfect lock all the way. In fact I can only remember one time it lost a lock, but it recovered within a few seconds.

Btw. bought a Griffin Roadtrip for the IPhone £40, works really well as Car kit. With the advantage that you can use your car speakers for playing your ITunes, without any wires. :) And as an FM transmitter it's really clear.
