I don't mind simple, but TomTom has already given them an insight of what's to come so I'm surprised they still stuck with what is essentially an iPhone cradle. Kudos to TomTom for a better version with power, external GPS chip, and a speaker which the iPhone is pretty much useless in this area out of using the Navigon GPS iPhone app.

But after all these announced products with no actual unit to date, I ended up using my 4-year old stand-alone Garmin GPS which is already hard-wired in my vehicle via ProClip USA hardware.

If either of the two (or more in the future) iPhone GPS developers create a similar iPhone cradle that powers the iPhone as well then perhaps its time to ditch the GPS and utilize the iPhone.

Just a thought.

Whether the Tom Tom solution is better depends on the setup in your car. If you have a car stereo that controls the iPod functionality, it's useless with the Tom Tom kit. It would actually work with this mount.

What concerns me most about both the TomTom holder and this one is they don't seem to have the ability to cater for people who have put there iPhone's into a case/shell.

Everyone I know has a case and no one is going to want to take it out just for this....

I don't want to sound like a perv, but does anyone else think that image looks raunchy?
