So where's the benefit?

Let's say I have an iPhone and a bluetooth hands-free kit; now I need Sat-Nav. My options - £158 for a solution that runs on my iPhone or a dedicated Tom-tom for less. I've had an integrated solution before and the observation that the map disappears for an incoming call reminds me of the time that happened approaching a complex junction on the edge of Leeds - several miles and many minutes later I was eventually back going the right direction! Sorry - not convinced!

Correction

Your first paragraph must be incorrect because both TomTom and CoPilot work on the 3G as well as the 3GS. A compass is most useful when walking or stationary, but is not essential for turn-by-turn navigation and is often not a feature of stand-alone units. Apple's ban on turn-by-turn must have either been commercial, or perhaps the realisation that it would just highlight the shortcomings of the built-in GPS.
