Wow, ALK Technologies must be happy with the great year they’ve had – firstly, releasing what I think is the best Sat Nav software for the iPhone (at half the price of some of their competitors), and then coming in at Number 1 in terms of paid-for Apps downloads (in the UK)!
Apple recently released their stats for this year, and CoPilot was top of the pile – followed by it’s well-known rival, TomTom. The difference between the two apps may have been small, but the price differential is quite substantial – to my mind at least. I can’t fully compare apples with apples since I’ve not been able to try the TomTom App (yet – maybe when TomTom PR give me a copy to try! Hint!), but CoPilot does definitely fall in to that category of must-have Apps on the iPhone.
You can see the full list of Apps in a Guardian newspaper article here.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
