My first reaction: "Well, I'm glad I don't work at a navigation software company today."

Seems like a great product, would be fantastic if they port it to iPhone.

From an above comment: "But they said it was up to the makers of those devices to decide whether to include the application."

I wonder what percentage of app store revenue is the navigation apps? They're not insignificant. They'd be losing a chunk of change approving this.

I suppose they'll lose more chunks of change in "street cred" or something if they don't have it and the Droid does.

I don't think they'd bother with that sort of math. Appple enjoy their slice of the app pie, but I don't think they are dumb enough to get greedy about it.
