In Depth: Hands on: TomTom for iPhone review
TomTom for iPhone is here, even if it’s a little earlier than expected. We thought the company would release it in September alongside its much talked about iPhone cradle, but it seems the advent of other sat-nav apps onto the market has forced TomTom’s hand.
The TomTom iPhone cradle UK release date is likely to be in a few weeks and will bring turn-by-turn directions to the first-gen iPhone and the iPod touch.
The iPhone 3G and 3GS are supported by this standalone app. According to TomTom, the car kit will offer “enhanced GPS performance especially in areas where GPS reception is limited” plus a speaker.
As you’ll hear, the GPS reception on the iPhone isn’t perfect and, as such, we’re going to wait and give it a full review alongside the car kit to give the full picture. However, that doesn’t stop us getting a full hands-on with the actual app right away.
