GPS solutions developer TomTom has officially released its long-awaited application for the iPhone 3G/3G S.The TomTom app currently uses the built-in A-GPS hardware in the above models ahead of the release of the dedicated cradle with built-in high-sensitivity GPS transceiver and bundled app combo.

The application is also currently one on the most expensive consumer oriented apps in the App Store at $99.99 but the pricing is justified by the almost identical behavior of the app compared to a standalone TomTom unit after independent testing with the advantage of the capacitive display aiding menu navigation compared to the resistive displays found on standalone TomTom units.
