Good news for fans of TomTom systems, as you can now download the TomTom iPhone App from the Apple store. It had been rumored to be on the way very shortly, but now we can confirm the news to you this morning.
According to i4U, the TomTom iPhone software is available to download for U.S. & Canada ($99.99), Western Europe ($139.99) (£85), New Zealand ($94.99) and Australia ($79.99).
Don’t forget that prices are only for the software, as you’ll still need to pay more for the car kit, which is still available for pre-order from that UK retailer we told you a while back.
TomTom for iPhone will contain many of the features seen in standalone TomTom kits, with one of the best features being navigation straight from the contact list. Another feature not seen in other GPS units, is TomTom IQ, which calculates routes based on the experience of millions of other TomTom drivers.
So its finally available guys, what are you waiting for? Head to the App store now to download. Let us know your thoughts on the release.

Don’t know if it’s related, but right after I DL’d the TomTom app to iTunes, iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone. Instead of “Brooke’s iPhone”, it’s now just “iPhone” when I try to sync.
Also, I got a message saying that my SIM card wasn’t recognized. A disconnect/reconnect seems to have fixed that.
A Restore didn’t get the name back, but all seems well …
