TomTom Car Kit Now Available

Car-kit-rightPop quiz: How much would you pay for an iPhone windshield mount? If you answered $160, then you might want to look at the TomTom windshield mount, which is now available to purchase.

Sure, it’s not just a suction cup with an iPhone jack in it – this thing has its own GPS receiver, a built-in loudspeaker and microphone, and an auxilliary out for playing music through your car stereo.

But the truth is that you can pick up an (admittedly entry-level) dedicated satnav for that price. Plus, the cradle doesn’t actually come with the TomTom software, or even a code to download it. Which kind of makes this a rather expensive option.
