TomTom Navigation app for Android

[WebMaximus]

Wow...still no TomTom app for Android phones...that's an interesting marketing decision from TomTom I must say...

[BarnOwl]

NOT

I still cannot believe it. BUT IMHO proves a link with Apple after all when 50% of mobile phones in the USA are Android and 53% in Europe IMHO it proves people are moving away from iCrap

As I have repeatedly said if I was a shareholder the CEO / Chairman of Tomtom would be taken to task at the AGM

Info from within Tomtom:

"Wij zijn hard op weg om deze app te lanceren, dit zal hopelijk deze maand nog zijn, maar kan ook de komende weken/2 maanden nog zijn."

[BarnOwl]

in English would be good but from my very limited Dutch something about working hard on it and could be in the next few months?

I tried with google translate: "We are working hard to launch this app, this will hopefully later this month, but may in the coming weeks / 2 months are"

[BarnOwl]

well the last paragraph is very bad English

[Aleph]

Well, I just pasted it. Put the verb TO be in the right place; it isn't so difficult...
This is not the point.... i think the meaning of the news is understandable and more relevant.

"We are working hard to launch this app, this will hopefully later this month, but may in the coming weeks / 2 months are"

Given there are no dates on the message, and its clearly been cut from a longer message and we don't know the context OR if its even an Adroid App being discussed!

I would not get too excited about it, It Would be very nice to have a Tom,Tom app on Android but its going to have to be very good and sensibly priced.

I am not shelling out £80+ a pop anymore for what would only be a marginal improvement over Co Pilot.

[Aleph]

Updated maps all over europe is not a marginal improvement. Copilot is a good product but the maps fare really old on Android

I have a friend who part owns a company which does digital mapping, mainly for OS.  He says a Beta version of Navigator is being tested on Android ICS. It is not going to work on Gingerbread or earlier.  Probably be announced about same time as Galaxy S3.
