Navigon has updated its iPhone application, MobileNavigator, with spanking new features. Once you press the “download,” here’s what you’ll get:
- Text-to-speech – the application will now announce street names in addition to turn-by-turn directions. Navigon proudly say they are the first company to do this on the iPhone!
- Access to iPod functions – right from the map, you can access your complete music library. Listening to an audiobook or podcasts is what I do on longer trips.
- Location sharing – you can either send address, point of interest, or a direct link to other MobileNavigator users.
And that’s about it. Kudos to Navigon for keeping its application fresh. North American version of the application could be downloaded from here (AppStore link), whereas if you live elsewhere, you should search for “navigon” in iTunes and take it from there. The price is $89.99, and the update is available free to the existing users.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
