UK Retailer Offering TomTom Car Kit for Pre-Order

That $193 rumored price is going to make me think twice about replacing my aging Garmin Unit :eek:

Cheers.

good news ?? yes? I am certainly not sure if i am fond of a approx 200+ cost (after taxes etc) everything in... it seems a little hight for the size of the "GPS" in comparison with stand alone options..

I am still waiting to hear "official" word from TomTom before i say NO i will not buy it... hopefully they have a few extras' to make this price worth it (Free map updates / Traffic info)


Off topic:

There is another device by Kensington that makes the same claim that you can get a app for free of the store with the purchase of a device

Kensington Nightstand Dock

on inspection their APP is free for everyone though.. so who knows what process TomTom will use to get the app to you at no cost. (itunes Gift card???)

side note the kensington app is kinda cool dont know if i would want the backlight on constantly tho.. with the brightness control allowing you swipe across the screen

The car mount could easily come with a promo code for use with the app store.

thats nightstand "dock / foot"

Yea but anyone can download the Kensington App for free ...

They can only have so many (50?) promo codes, unless apple is teaming up with them specially.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Other apps have been doing this for a while now.

don't these things plug directly into your iPhone?

Maybe the interface they plug in through will cause it to download the app free of charge?

Not really a promo code, more of a redeeming code. Kind of like how you enter in your iTunes cards codes into iTunes, they'll just code a card specifically for TomTom to redeem the App.

I guess I should have picked up that banged-up Garmin Unit for $10 at the local flea market.....:eek:

If this app / car kit costs more than $120, I will pick up a refurbished TomTom 720 instead.
