TomTom’s iPhone App Still A Go

by Justin

French site Mac Generation has been able to get some more details out of TomTom France’s head of press relations Yann Lafargue about the new TomTom iPhone app that’s rumored to be dead before it’s even out of the water. A clause in the 3G iPhone SDK prohibits real-time navigation in its applications, and has caused a huge amount of chatter in the blogosphere about whether or not that would affect the release of TomTom’s application. Lafargue says transposing TomTom’s Navigator software onto the iPhone isn’t an issue at all, only a bid by Apple to protect themselves and their iPhone customers from rogue apps. He did admit that the application’s release isn’t finalized yet; some details still have to be ironed out
