With TomTom stealing most of the attention with their car kit bundle, it was only a matter of time that Navigon would bounce back with another headline. Sure enough, Navigon has released news via Facebook about their upcoming iPhone cradle that will compete with TomTom’s similar attachment. After beating TomTom to the punch by releasing their app in June ’09, they have produced solid reviews for all versions released (North America, Australia, and Europe).  Even though all the details are still blurry, we do have a lead on what you can expect.

As seen above, Navigon will come standard with a suction cup mount but will also feature a charging cable so you never run dry.  This cradle should not have an astronomical price tag due to the fact that there is no supplementary technology such as an integrated GPS chip or hands-free calling.  Comparing TomTom’s roughly $100 unit, we would suspect much less.

Release date is still unclear, but one would suspect to keep your eyes pealed for October’ish since that is the target for TomTom’s anticipated car kit that will complete the circle.
