AT&T just announced turn by turn gps navigation for the iPhone at a mere $9.99... A month! Give me a break! What a ripoff.

holy fuck... they are so fucked when someone else can carry the iPhone in the US. Everyone hates them with a passion right now.
I'm waiting for the huge price tag for tethering.

BTW, remember when Apple said MMS was coming to iPhone but wasn't doable on the first generation iPhones due to hardware differences?
Well, firmware 3.0 came and there is no MMS on the old aluminum iPhone - unless you jailbreak it and use a small piece of free software that unlocks this feature.Pathetic how they just lied to the customers in the face.

That's what you pay a month for the turn by turn apps on any phone with any of the carriers. Why would the iPhone be any different?

I've never had a phone that was capable of this before so I guess I didn't know that this was the going rate for this type of thing. Regardless, the price is still absolute fucking lunAcy.

Doesn't google maps on the iPhone have directions and pinpoints your location?

^ yeah it already has a street view turn by turn thing... I don't get it

Europe will have an independent nav service soon. Maybe they're trying to cash in advance?
- lvl_130
Yeah they got google street view and maps that show you turn by turn directions to and from a destination...BUT with the new AT&T gps you can have a voice tell you where to go and also in a cool new 3D environment! Oooooohhhhh!
Granted google maps will not auto update say if you miss a turn and reroute you, but come on $120 a year for the service?! Fuck that, you can buy a used garmin nuvi for $60 that will do the same thing.

If you don't like the price, don't buy it.

wait for the tom tom app

Come on! Please don't result to the obvious and typical answer of "then just don't buy it" bullshit. I can assure you, I won't be adding this service to my already bloated monthly fee. The fact remains, that this plan is ridicously overpriced, and almost inevitably not needed.
- Service I meant. Not plan.lvl_13
- you dont even know what you are talking about. You even have to correct yourself!fusionpixel
- Really? Please enlighten me why you are going to pay for this service then.lvl_13
- because I want it and I can afford it (period)fusionpixel
- Good for you. I still find it assinine that someone would pay for it though... but to each their own. I'm not trying to battle here.lvl_13
