Navigon is back in the North American market with their Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone / iPhone 3GS running OS 3.0 or higher. Beating some other companies to the punch, the app seems to be very similar to their in car devices with a clean interface and good feature set. One big difference with other iPhone apps is that the 1.2 gigs of maps are downloaded into your iPhone, so you do not have to pay any data charges or monthly fees to use this app or worry about celluar signal dead zones.

If you are one of those people who just can’t seem to master holding your iPhone in the air during a racing game while also tilting and steering, there just may be some hope for you after all. CTA Digital has created a plastic housing that turns your device into a mini steering wheel.  It works with the iPhone, iPhone 3GS, first-generation, and second-generation iPod touch.  It’s an extremely simple device and it resembles those silly Wii remote accessories, but it may actually be useful for a small, select group of people.

For many users, any game that ends up installed on an iPhone is something of an after-thought: It sits there, quietly, waiting for a spare moment in the dentist’s waiting room or on the train. But CTA Digital, a company known for its various game controllers, has a vision of the future that includes people lugging around little plastic steering wheels with an iPhone-sized hole in the middle. CTA Digital Steering Wheel for iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch is interesting for all who take racing sims seriously.

CTA’s wheel is basically a plastic shell that snaps onto your iPhone, iPhone 3GS, or iPod touch to make the devices feel like a small steering wheel. The design doesn’t block the screen, so you can still access virtual buttons for braking, nitro, and …

iPhone steering wheel, for those who take racing apps too seriously What can I say? I’m a sucker for racing sims. (Credit: CTA Digital) I’m not what you’d call a fan of chintzy, plastic, snap-on video game peripherals. I’ve got enough plastic guitars and controllers cluttering up my living room already without taking up more space with snap-on shells that make my Wii Remote look like the world’s shortest golf club. However, I take my racing sims seriously, even on the iPhone.

By far the slickest, most mystical way to charge a smartphone these days comes courtesy of Palm’s Touchstone system — but that doesn’t do iPhone owners much good, which is where WildCharge steps up to the plate with a jacket that makes all iPhone models compatible with its wire-free charging mat. It’s not as elegant by any stretch of the imagination, but if you squint a little, the jacket (or “adapter skin,” as WildCharge calls it) looks like a totally believable case that you might buy in your local Apple store, especially if you can get past the hump at the bottom.

TomTom told us that its long-awaited iPhone navigation app and in-car mounting kit would be landing “this summer,” and at least on our watch, summertime is quickly drawing to a close. If a pre-order listing over at Handtec is to be believed, it looks as if the outfit is exceedingly close to finally having both the software and hardware ready for shipping. The £113.85 ($194) asking price includes a suction mount for your iPhone as well as the mapping software, though there’s no indication of exactly how much the app and hardware will run by themselves.
