TomTom Update Brings Pricey (but very cool) GPS to iPod touch Owners

When TomTom pre-announced its iPhone turn-by-turn app and cradle accessory, a lot of people (including me) assumed it would let iPod touch users become first class GPS citizens. This appeared to be an incorrect assumption after TomTom released the first version of its $99.99 iPhone app…

However, this has all changed in favor of iPod touch owners according to this AppleInsider article…

The TomTom GPS cradle kit is priced at $119.95. This means this is all quite a pricey combo if you don’t already have an iPod touch.

8GB iPod touch + TomTom app + TomTom cradle kit = $418.94

Even the app + kit combo comes to $219.94 which is quite a bit more than many of the low-priced dedicated GPS units.
