Peter-Frans Pauwels, TomTom’s co-founder and CTO, demonstrated TomTom’s navigation software in combination with a specially designed car kit on the iPhone- during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on June 8th, 2009.

The TomTom solution combines two new TomTom products to provide users with state of the art in-car navigation on their iPhone 3G:

The TomTom navigation application for iPhone; an Apple version of TomTom’s award-winning turn-by-turn navigation software, including IQ Routes and latest maps from Tele Atlas; The TomTom car kit for iPhone; a specially developed car kit for secure docking, enhanced GPS performance, clear voice instructions, hands-free calling and in-car charging.

The TomTom navigation application for iPhone will be available via the Apple iTunes App Store, following the release of Apple’s OS 3.0 operating system. Details regarding pricing and availability for both the application and the TomTom car kit for iPhone will be made available in advance of the products’ launch later this summer.

Avaiable for the iPhone and iPod touch only: Normally you would have to spend 103$/year to read WSJ in a stadard browser. On the iPhone/iPod touch it is totally free!

Just like the BlackBerry app released last year, the WSJ iPhone app's home screen provides scrolling headlines and thumbnail images of that day's Journal content in a few different categories—"What's News," "Markets," and "Editors' Picks." Hit "More," however, and you get pretty much every category covered in the dead tree version.

The WSJ videos and streaming radio content is also available from the app, and at the bottom you will see an add, currently from Oracle, and hopwfully it will stay this way and continue to be a free and wonderfull app for the iPhone.

The WSJ app is a free download, requires an iPhone or iPod touch running at least the 2.2 firmware. We can confirm that it runs on 3.0 beta 3 firmware as well.
