'TomTom U.S. & Canada' Price Temporarily Cut to $69.99

Monday December 14, 2009 11:48 am PST by Eric Slivka

On Friday, we noted that TomTom U.S.A., a new U.S.-only GPS navigation iPhone application had appeared with a promotional price of $49.99 through December 28th. The introduction was notable because it was priced a full 50% lower than the original TomTom U.S. & Canada application while lacking only Canadian navigation information.

Canadian shoppers and cross-border U.S. travelers looking to pick up the TomTom software might want to check again, as TomTom has now cut the price of TomTom U.S. & Canada [App Store] by 30% to $69.99 through December 28th. Both applications are now also sporting holiday-themed App Store icons.

While we still don't know what the full price of TomTom U.S.A. will be once the promotional period is over, the 30% discount on TomTom U.S. & Canada suggests that TomTom U.S.A. may eventually see a regular price in the neighborhood of $64.99.

Many, many application developers get a lot of free advertising from this and other similar news sites or blogs. That's how it works.

My first thought as soon as I noticed the sidebar headline: Tom-Tom sure gets a lot of attention from this site, a lot more than other products. What's the deal?

I am glad illegal downloads of this application exist, if they can do things like this. It's disgusting. :mad:

Seriously. $120 for a plastic bracket with a couple connectors and a GPS receiver is a complete ripoff. I'd pay maybe $50 max.

TomTom is beating Navigon at the discounted pricing game in December, like Navigon pulled on TomTom in November ... and trying to make a dent in Navigon's head start in the iPhone market ... oh yeah, and gabbing holiday customers so that in January they can launch TomTom Live Services (www.tomtom.com/services/) for $9.99/mo for traffic, google search, etc ... that'll be fun.

No discount for the UK! Less roads, the app is almost 1gb smaller, rip off prices. Bah Humbug.

They should be renamed ScroogeScrooge for the festive period!

Seriously, go find a bluetooth speakerphone with GPS and iphone bracket for $50. You won't even find a decent bluetooth speakerphone for $50. Why do people seem to forget this part of the device? Pretty amazing really. But why they thought that focusing on the high end market I don't know. I do think they should include the software, or at least a US only version or a downscaled version that you can upgrade for a smaller price.
