TomTom for iPhone

TomTom introduced a long-awaited iPhone app due this summer that lends turn-by-turn spoken directions and voice activation for the new iPhone 3G S. TWIC reports.

Announced by TomTom co-founder and CEO Peter Frans Pauwels at the Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference, the app will be sold for a price not yet announced as will a new car mounting kit to be available at www.tomtom.com.

The mounting kit provides a speaker and microphone to the iPhone and allows it to mount on a windshield. It uses the TomTom’s current twist-and-lock mount that can fold up for carrying in your pocket. It also charges the iPhone and allows you to tilt the iPhone so it may adjust between landscape and portrait modes. The kit will not allow voice commands for inputting directions, however, according to TomTom marketing VP Tom Murray.
