One of the main gripes consumers have had with the iPhone is that there is no proper turn-by-turn navigation software. Sure, Google Maps with GPS works but using it while driving is a safety hazard to say the least.
Thankfully, TomTom has stepped in and teamed up with Apple to introduce an application that does just that, provides users with the same turn-by-turn navigation you would see on a conventional GPS device.
Also showcased was the TomTom iPhone dock that will let you stick the device to your windshield just like a normal TomTom GPS system. There is no word on pricing but considering this app does exactly what a $100+ GPS system would do, it’s safe to say it won’t be cheap.
Expect the TomTom for iPhone app to hit the App Store sometime after iPhone OS 3.0 goes live.

So… what are the specs on the dock itself, other than the extra antennae and attaching to the windshield, can the dock be attached to an airvent? how will it connect to car stereos that do not have a line in connection? any ideas?
