First, the price now seems to be $119.95 instead of the announced price of $99.99. Second, the Apple Store says that the product is, “Currently Unavailable” and TomTom’s website says that it is, “Currently not available through TomTom.com.” So, although it seems to be “ready”, they obviously are not shipping yet.

Basically, they have already delayed the Kit once so instead of delaying it again (missing their October deadline) and looking really bad, they have put the item up so it looks available when really… it’s not.

Your $119.95 will get you the Car Kit, a USB Car Charger, an Adhesive Disk and the Instruction Manual. Remember, the Car Kit does not include the TomTom iPhone application. The kit (and the TomTom application) are compatible with both the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

TomTom has added some additional information to their website about the Car Kit.

While supplies last: new pricing @ AT&T stores 4 iPhone 3G refurb devices! Black 8GB – $49, 16GB – $99 black/white.

You will first need someone to email you a video file (I had Doug email me one he took with his iPhone 3GS). Once you have received the video, you can open the email and select the arrow on the lower menu bar. This will give you five options; Reply, Reply All, Forward, Save Video and Cancel. Once you select Save Video, the video will get saved to your Camera Roll. You can then go into your Camera Roll and select the video.

After selecting the video, you are able to watch the video and edit it. To edit a video, tap on the timeline at the top of the page you can then drag your finger to the start and end points on the video. When you select trim, you have the option to trim the original video or save the trimmed potion as a new clip in your Camera Roll.

So, even though you can’t take video on your unjailbroken iPhone 3G… I guess you can at least edit it. I’m not really sure there is a huge purpose to this feature but, there you go.

I only tested this on an iPhone 3G but, it is said to work on an iPod touch running 3.1.1 as well.

NES 3 is NES “rewritten” and upgraded. According to the developer the game has been “rewritten from scratch and optimized supporting the iPhone 3.0.” So, while you wait for the rest of your apps to be updated for firmware 3.0, at least you can play ROMS. There is one catch, the app is no longer free…it costs $5.99. No free trial either. Also, the it currently only works in portraite mode (landscape mode is coming in the future).

Personally, I don’t play ROMS enough to shell out $5.99 for this app but, if you are one of the many that are addicted to having ROMS on your iPhone or iPod Touch (and I know there are many of you) it might just be $5.99 well spent.

If you are one of those addicted, we would love to see some screenshots in the comments. You can get NES 3 via the BigBoss source.
