Dutch site Bright.nl disclosed in a recent Tweet that TomTom was having a special media event on September 22.
The invitations distributed to local journalists say:
Dear Journalist,
“TomTom will reveal the future of navigation to you” on Tuesday, the 22nd of September (from 10:30 am until 2 pm) … Save the date!
More information to follow soon!
Warm regards,
The TomTom PR team!
Although there was no mention of the TomTom for iPhone kit in the invitation, many have speculated that the release of the kit could be one of the announcements.
Update 8/16/09: iPhoneclub.nl (Google Translated) is reporting that the TomTom for iPhone application has gone up on the New Zealand App Store. You must have your iTunes Store set to “New Zealand” before you will be able to view these apps but there are up.
- TomTom US & Canada: NZ $124.99 (US $84.41)
- TomTom New Zealand: NZ $119.99 (US $81.03)
- Tom Tom Australia: NZ $104.99 (US $70.90)
- TomTom Western Europe: NZ $179.99 (US $121.55)
Update 8/16/09: These applications have also shown up in the Australian and many of the European App Stores. In the European App Stores there is also a fifth more localized version of the TomTom navigation app for a lower price.
