http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_magellan.jpg (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/magellan.jpg)It's not the first iPhone GPS (http://gizmodo.com/tag/iphonegps/) car kit (http://gizmodo.com/tag/carkit/), but Magellan's list of features might make this one of the better ones, and it doesn't even require you to use Magellan's own GPS app.
It's got a built-in GPS receiver, so it can work with your iPod Touch, as well as a charging port (obviously), Bluetooth for hands-free calling, audio-out for car stereo support, a built-in speaker and a noise-canceling speakerphone. And it's designed to dock with your phone even if you've got a case on it.
The price is a bit steep at $130, especially if you're just using this to charge and hold your iPhone, but if you're going to use your iPod Touch as a GPS device, this provides the "GPS" part of the deal. [Magellan (http://www.magellangps.com/iphone/iphoneapp.asp)]
