TomTom’s much-anticipated iPhone GPS car kit has appeared on a number of European Apple online

stores, including the UK store. Scheduled to ship in 2-3 weeks, the kit is priced at £99.95

(US$164.10) in the UK and 99.95 Euro (US$147.90) in other European countries, which includes the

TomTom iPhone application.
Did you notice?

You get both the TomTom navigation app for your iPhone 3GS or 3G and the docking kit to hold your

iPhone securely in place on your dashboard or windscreen.

Details on the car kit, including the user guide, were posted to the U.S. Federal Communications

Commission’s site late last month. The kit, which had been expected to be launched this summer,

was pushed back to an October release earlier this month.

TomTom’s car kit contains an external GPS receiver and other hardware features and has been

claimed to be compatible with the iPod touch and other GPS iPhone applications from other vendors,

but Apple’s product description makes no mention of compatibility with those offerings.
