TomTom iphone app appears in New Zealand App Store; global release almost here

The much-awaited TomTom for iPhone GPS navigation app has popped up in the New Zealand App Store with a reported asking price ranging from about $81 to $125. The app price does not include the TomTom iPhone car kit.

TomTom iPhone App

According to MacRumors, the four-flavored app covers the U.S. & Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and, naturally, New Zealand. Pricing:
– U.S. & Canada: NZ $124.99 (US $84.41)
– Western Europe: NZ $179.99 (US $121.55)
– Australia: NZ $104.99 (US $79.90)
– New Zealand: NZ $119.99 (US $81.03)

Earlier this month, UK retailer Handtec let slip that the equally anticipated TomTom for iPhone car kit would sell for about $195, a GPS-boosting receiver, windshield mount, car charger and speakers. That news, and the perhaps premature New Zealand launch this weekend, would seem to indicate a global release is imminent.

It’s been talked about and delayed a number of time, so it’ll be nice to finally set it available for purchase.

    The full suite of tomtom apps are now available in the French App store now (Occidental Europe, France, US & Canada, Australia and New Zealand). They’re all more expensive than their Navigon equivalents though.

    Anyone care to explain why the European version is so expensive………again?
