TomTom iPhone App Update

This is probably a good time for an update considering Google's new Android-based free Google Maps Navigation and the talk it may come to other platforms, include the iPhone.

Among the goodies in a new free update, now pending approval in the AppStore:

- ext-to-speech (TTS) for spoken street names and POIs as part of the device's directions
- graphic lane guidance
- links to emergency services
- an iPod inside the app to play and manage music (thus getting around the challenge of running but one app at a time)
- map update
- dataset of "safety cameras"
