A: The new law does not prohibit dialing, but drivers are strongly urged not to dial while driving. Q: Does the new "hands-free" law allow you to use the speaker phone function of your wireless telephone while driving? A: Yes. Q: Does the new “hands-free” law allow drivers 18 and over to text message while driving? A: The law does not specifically prohibit that, but an officer can pull over and issue a citation to a driver of any age if, in the officer’s opinion, the driver was distracted and not operating the vehicle safely. Sending text messages while driving is unsafe at any speed and is strongly discouraged. In addition, you were right about the $20 fine, but that's only for the first offense. Subsequent offenses are $50 each. Sven,

I can see Apple not wanting TomTom on the iPhone due to the likely high battery drain. From what I’ve read, TomTom for the iPhone is turn-by-turn nav software.

So, it's possible that it will tap into the Google Map database since it uses the same maps (TeleAtlas) as TomTom. We'll just have to wait and see. bonesb, when I pressed TomTom if it would use Google Map’s data for its maps, it would not comment on that specific question.
