TomTom made its big debut a few years ago on the PocketPC aka Windows Mobile devices.  The program differed from VZW and AT&T Navigator as TomTom is saved on the actual phone and uses just the GPS receiver and the carrier programs stream off the mobile Internet provided with the device.  Google and TomTom are getting really friendly as Android devices will have support for the GPS app.  Any room for a BlackBerry device getting equipped with the awesome GPS app soon?  When questioned about support for BlackBerry devices the TomTom VP responded, “I do not question the opportunity that RIM might offer but we know that a satnav device needs to have a large touchscreen and voice commands to be able to work for turn-by-turn navigation. We come from a PDA background and we know what will work.”

BlackBerry Storm anyone? RIM has offered the touchscreen devicefor almost a year, with the release of the all new 9550 device coming soon.
