Default TomTom is a tease - new video of car cradle accessory

I just wish they would hurry up and start selling this thing already.

How much do you think this thing will really cost? If Handtec's site is correct, it will be $125. Are you going to buy one?

You're the tease, Marianne!

To the subject, I won't be getting the cradle. I just bought a refurbished TomTom unit and love it.

It shows built-in GPS. I wonder if you can use it with the v.1 iPhone and the tom-tom app? I have the 3GS and a Garmin, so I dont need it, but I wonder about the built-in gps.

That is a sweet looking cradle, I'll probably break and eventually get it if it's under 100.

Aw, crap. Did I post that home-made video by accident instead? Sorry about that.

It sounds like someone at TomTom said it will be compatible with the iPod touch as well as other GPS apps, which would be seriously cool. However, I tried to load the TomTom app onto my first-generation iPhone and it wouldn't transfer. The only GPS I could get on to it was the iGO My Way one. Perhaps the apps are keyed so they will only install on compatible devices?

Dont worry, Marianne - that goes into my strictly private YouTube collection. You can trust me; I'm not like the others...

Pretty sexy. I wish they had a GPS-less version of it for a lot less, though.

Yea me too. I have no trouble with getting and holding a GPS signal in my vehicles and can't see paying for a GPS for my GPS.
