…and it is the first – check Sygic turn-by-turn voice guided navigation at iTunes’ App Store. From today you can download their Australia&New Zealand as well as South East Asia apps.

I’m hopeful that Sygic is correct here. Tom Tom and Telenav both were hopeful of getting into the App. Store at one time as well, before Apple rejected them. It’s kind of interesting that Apple allowed G-Map (a true turn by turn GPS) into the App. Store when it rejected the other 2…maybe because G-Map agreed to not include voice prompting? At any rate, if Sygic gets approved, I hope Apple will allow Sygic, G-Map, and all other GPS systems full voice control.

Apple is sooooo close to sending RIM packing, I just don’t understand why they don’t finish the job!!! I bought the iphone 3G in july, then bought a bold when they came out. There are just too many things it does not do, and coming from a curve, found it frustrating that I could no longer do. And I have waited. AND waited for them to “fix it”. It really pisses me off that Apple “decided” that we don’t need these things. MMS?? Come on. A $9.00 RAZR can do that. Media Machine?? NO stereo bluetooth, and ONE crappy speaker. The games are fine, if you want your target audience to be 15-16 year olds. It seems like Apple wants you to see the pretty box, and not whats missing. If this 3.0 does not fix it, then it could be lost. Other’s are catching up,and about to start pointing out what theirs do and this one doesn’t, and that may well start to spell the beginging of then end.

Hopefully, voice commands will be allowed, otherwise it’s going to be just as “hand-cuffed” as G-Maps.

The only use I’d have for this is if I was a passenger in a vehicle without GPS. So if it’s not too pricey, I’d consider it… but probably rarely use it.

The symbian and windows mobile versions have voice. If, as we expect, apple announces some changes later, i can´t see why sygic for iphone won´t have voice

Now this app doesn't have voice correct? At least the JB xGPS can have voice directions.

Still this is good news. I might purchase this if it has voice navigation.
