Apple Thoughts: TomTom Car Kit Announced for October

"Are you lost? I don't mean metaphorically, I mean literally: are you at this very moment stuck in an unknown location, scratching your head and wondering if you should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque? Well, if you don't mind waiting a bit-and forking over some cash-help could be on the way. TomTom has announced that its car kit for the iPhone will ship in October for $120 (or €99 if you live on the other side of the Atlantic from me)."

Still no word on if software is part of this price, but TomTom did say they were going to bundle this with software so my guess is that this is stand-alone unit price.

However in reading their FAQ page, it doesn't say anything about a bundle, in fact it says that you have to purchase software through iTunes and car kit separately. It also mentions only the 3G and 3GS but there are still a lot of unanswered questions so since this kit has GPS built in, it may indeed work with 2G iPhones.
