TomTom on iPhone GPS app and car kit priced
A British online satnav retailer has started taking pre-orders for the TomTom iPhone kit and app, priced at £113.85
TechRadar has spoken with TomTom reps in the UK and I am still awaiting the 'official' confirmation of pricing and a release date, which I should be hearing about soon. For now, the release date is still down as 'summer'.
Pop it in the car
If you are an iPhone owner and are in need of a pocket-friendly GPS device to guide you around the UK and the rest of Europe that you can easily pop into the dashboard car-dock when necessary, then this might prove to be not a bad price at all.
Alternatively, if you are not that desperate to upgrade your current satnav you might want to stick with the good old Google Maps on the iPhone for the time being.
Indeed, opinion in the TechRadar office is currently divided - on the one hand, there are those who argue they would rather invest in a dedicated satnav device for the car; on the other hand, the idea of having satnav functionality on your iPhone at all times seems quite appealing (particularly for road trips to unknown towns).
I've had a go with Navigon on iPhone, which beat TomTom by being the first turn-by-turn app for the iPhone.
For the time being, this is what it looks like.

You can get more details and pre-order the TomTom iPhone car kit for £113.85 over on Handtec right now.

Robot Arm - Wired Control Robot Arm Kit



The Robot Arm looks fantastic, and defanetly is a great toy and a fun educational tool as well! It will definitely get people arguing over who has the next go!
Some products really capture your imagination and this is one of them! The Robot Arm reminds me of the ones commonly found in car manufacturers all across the world and is a great gift for so many people and for so many reasons!

If you know anyone that wants to come up with the next great invention then this would be a perfect way to get them started.
