The iPhone 3G and 3GS have GPS built in, but TomTom, the GPS unit-maker, will soon sell an application via iTunes that makes the iPhone a full-fledged turn-by-turn directions device. The software follows the phone's location, and pans along the street, saying things like, “after 300 yards, bear right. Then keep left.” TomTom will also sell an accessory car kit that suctions the iPhone to the windshield and can be rotated in portrait and landscape mode. It will boost the GPS signal and the volume of the iPhone (the built in speaker on the accessory is louder than the iPhone). The accessory includes a microphone for hands-free calling.

Awesome new phone. Just wish Apple didn't signed an exclusive deal with AT&T otherwise I'd buy one. I know you can jailbreak the phones but that's something we shouldn't have to deal with.

I agree if they had opened it up the iPhone would be dominating the whole market. But that's just my thoughts on it.

"The battery will last for 100 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years".... I think that's 1000 recharges.
