TomTom on iPhone!

By Daniel Miessler on June 14th, 2008: Tagged as iPhone

The new iPhone is simply going to obliterate every smart-phone competitor out there. I mean, like to the point of silliness. I am becoming more and more convinced of this as companies continue announcing their iPhone releases.

I think Nokia, RIM, and a number of other big companies will do o.k. because they either have very diverse lines or they are so specialized it’s hard to replace them, but the smartphone has officially been redefined.

First it was Qik, now it’s TomTom.

By the way, someone’s about to make a crapload of money off of iPhone mounts for the car, and companies with all their eggs in car-mounted units are now officially panicking.

I’ve got GPS in my Prius and seriously doubt that the iPhone stuff (regardless of how slick it is) would be preferable. There’s something to be said for ZERO start-up time (no getting the phone from my pocket, putting it in a cradle, etc.). The iPhone stuff will be GREAT for pedestrian stuff and specialty uses.

Also, from what I can tell from their site, TomTom stuff is already available for a pretty wide range of phones. I’m sure that the iPhone implementation will be the slickest, but it’s not the only one.
