With news of TomTom hitting Apple’s App Store it’s time to start looking out for great deals from the other GPS apps currently available. Today we were notified that one of the most feature-filled GPS apps, Sygic Mobile Maps for the US is on sale for a limited time and it’s priced to sell – $39.99. [iTunes Link]
We’ve used Sygic Mobile Maps and it is well worth $39.99 if you are within the United States. The sale ends at the end of this month so be sure to act fast! It contains some very nice features with some of the highlights as followed:
- Voice guided turn-by-turn GPS navigation
- Rotation sensor for automatic switching between landscape/portrait operation in real-time
- Automatic return to the app and the route after a phone call
- All important safety features, including lane assistance, speed limit indication, safety cameras, information about railway crossings and dangerous areas
- Thousands of POIs; among others also a list of parking options nearby for you to select and be guided to
selection between car and bicycle modes for optimum route calculation
- All the maps will be stored on the device, there will be no need to download data on the go, which otherwise costs unnecessary waiting time and money

Apps for Less is Jeremy’s turf, but we just got a few extra, time-sensitive tips we wanted to share with you for the weekend, so please bear with my less than Bad Ash fill-in attempt.
First up is ConvertBot [iTunes link], which is now totally FREE for a limited time.
Next up, ID software has a sale going in honor of QuakeCon 2009, discounting Doom Resurrection [iTunes link] to $2.99 and Wolfenstein Classic [iTunes link] to $0.99 from now until Sunday. (Thanks Pete for the head’s up!)
If you see any other great weekend deals, let us know in the comments, or send them Jeremy’s way any time for inclusion in a future Apps for Less!

The first thread for today was created by anjo and he wants to know – will Apple release a new iPhone in 2010? Now while some of us may already know the answer to this question, this thread has turned into a very detailed account on what exactly what you the consumers are looking for in the next generation of iPhone. Apple are you listening?
Next we have an excellent new poll thread that was just started by our very own forum reviewer, cjvitek – Do you use a bluetooth headset? Swing by this thread and let Chris know how you feel about bluetooth headsets in general and if you do use them, share with everyone which headset you prefer and why.
Here we have a thread from iPheuria and he poses the question regarding your data usage and do you really need carrier supplied data on your iPhone? Most of us here at TiPb feel that a good data connection is necessary to get the full potential out of Apple’s iPhone but what do you think?
So you are having an issue with your iPhone and need some help? Perhaps you have some time to kill and feel like helping others with their iPhone issues? If you answered yes to either of these questions then please stop by and visit our dedicated iPhone Help forum.
See you on the forums!
For those of you who are not familiar with our Apps for Less posts, they are a great way for us to point out a few good iPhone (and iPod touch) applications available in the App Store that are currently on sale, or ones that have come down to a price permanently that we feel are worth mentioning to our readers.
Today’s first application happens to be one of my personal favorites – Pocket Tunes Radio. [iTunes Link] Not only does it have a ton of free internet radio stations you also get the ability to stream Sirius XM channels. And most of the channels that were omitted from the official Sirius XM application are actually available with Pocket Tunes Radio! Howard Stern anyone? Pocket Tunes Radio is now available for a limited time for $7.99 – $2 off it’s regular price.
Next up we have a pair of retro games many of you old school gamers should enjoy. Namco’s Galaga REMIX [iTunes Link] and Dig Dug REMIX [iTunes Link] are now on sale for $2.99 a piece! Namco has added a nice twist to two great classic games – the ability to play both the original arcade games and new remixed versions with new boss battles, power-up items, etc…
Last up for today we have another great iPhone game, ngmoco’s Star Defense [iTunes Link] has dropped permanently to a low $2.99! This is one game that has been covered here at TiPb more than once, so be sure to check it out.
So there you have it, three great applications at low prices that hopefully some of you will take advantage of. If you happen to have an application in the App Store that is on sale and want everyone to know about it, feel free to contact us and let us know!

First post on the agenda today comes to us from xultar, and he has a question for all of you iPhone owners who have chosen not to jailbreak your device, why have you not taken the jump to jailbreak your iPhone?
Next up we have a thread started by naviwilliams and he would like to know which email service do you prefer – Yahoo or Gmail and what are some of the pros and cons of each? Stop by this poll thread and cast your vote!
Earlier today forum member, supermanfos, posted a article regarding the upcoming Tom Tom GPS Car Kit and it’s pricing. So what do you think? Is this something you will spend your hard earned money on or will you stick with applications such as G-Map that are already in the App Store?
