    I can't wait for the TypeNDrive. Hopefully one that also connects to my reverse camera, so I stop running over people.

    Wasn't something like this already (briefly) released for the iphone? I seem to remember there being a lot of hullabaloo because apple got pissed that someone modified the texting application, thus beginning their slow decent into madness of banning any app that does what the phone already did out of the box.

    Laugh it up, Frooch. The MTA cuts got approved. So unless you feel like being crammed into an overcrowded subway car (assuming your train is still running), you're gonna be walking.

    This does require you to hold your phone up directly in front of you as you type which is actually quite inconvenient.

    In reply to TomTom Releases $50 US-Only iPhone App
    I've said this before and I'll say it again.

    I've tested out three of the most popular navigation apps. Navigon, TomTom, and whatever the stock AT&T one was. I can't remember the name, but it's terrible. Don't get it.

    But TomTom clearly knows what they are doing. It might not be as pretty or have as many bells and whistles as Navigon, but it kicks it's ass.

    Navigon just lacks in the GPS department. It has a harder time finding GPS signal, if thats even possible, but it never gets signal until I get to the end of my development, when TomTom gets reception in my driveway. And when programming a route from you're car Navigon always has a hard time getting GPS reception.

    The second major issue with Navigon is it can't really detect when you're in a driveway or parking lot, it just assumes you are already on the street you're supposed to turn onto. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled out onto the street the wrong way and had to turn around. Aggravating.

    It was hard to justify this when it was $100, but now I think you'd be crazy not to go with TomTom.

    They should just sell regional versions while they are at it and charge $25 and allow in-app purchases for additional regions.

    @Kris Aubuchon: Actually, if the extra features were any good, that would actually be a pretty good plan. $20-30 is close to impulse buy range for a power app like turn-by-turn navigation. And only a minority of users are going to leave their region anyways. For those that do, hey mo' money!

    Attention TomTom: Hire this man now.

    I'm hoping they cut out Alaska, both Dakotas, Oregon, Nebraska and Iowa and just sell it for 2.99?

    While we're at it, how about one just for the Heartland...leaving out the coasts? Should legitimately get it down to $14.95.

    Does it need to be on Zune as well?
    Having a pac-man on a gaming system (even though the zune and iPhone aren't a gaming system) necessarily means "Win"?

    MS simply doesn't get it. They are in process of losing nearly every aspect of their core business to Google, Apple and the OS movement, and they are just sitting there with their fingers in their ears. They are too busy denying their irrelevance to actually try to compete.

    @cbandes: That's a strong statement. Although they may be losing ground in some areas, I wouldn't call the ZuneHD, Windows 7 and MS Courier irrelevant (just to name a few of their popular products/concepts).

    I think they're actually going through somewhat of a resurgence if you ask me.

    From a technical standpoint, if it's in XBLA, there's a good chance it was built with XNA, which would mean porting to the zune would be extremely easy in comparison to porting to iPhone, so there's really no excuse.

    @bpatten: So true. Microsoft really has a disconnect between their hardware and software (in part of them now being two different companies if I'm not mistaken). They seem slow on syncing their hardware with their software.

    Prime and recent example is the ZuneHD which doesn't even have a Device Stage in Windows 7 which you would think would be one of the first devices they tested on the thing. If you don't have the Zune software installed, the device is a dummy to your system. (I still love it though). I'm sure Pac-Man CE will be on the ZuneHD sometime in the future, just not sure when.

    @MosesMonster: Yeah, they have the perfect opportunity here. There are GREAT XBLA games that would actually be fun on the Zune HD. 'Splosion Man, Trials HD, and others would be a natural fit for the accelerometer and touch screen controls. Maybe they have a plan to port them, but it seems so damned slow!
