I don't know if this is known yet.....I know the iPad will have assisted GPS...but will a Tom Tom GPS app work for this? or any sort of GPS app?:confused:

The iPhone 3G and 3GS also use assisted GPS. So as far as that goes it should work just fine. No telling how un-modified iPhone apps will look on the big screen though.

That's great.......:D I am now imagining a 9.5 inch navigation screen..... now that's a big screen for a GPS navigation!

Maybe Tom-Tom and other GPS companies will modify there versions, specifically for the iPad. Makes you wonder about all the possibilities. :rolleyes:

I think that's a "given" as they are already developer members which means they have the iPad SDK right now (free developer accounts can't just yet). I wouldn't be surprised if "big" apps like these aren't ready at release date on the app store.

I agree, I think most developers need more than 2 months to fully develop apps specifically for the iPad.

Most likely by iphone OS 4.0.....we will see a huge change in the app store and all the apps!:D.
