I've tried 3 GPS aps on my iPhone - don't even ask me how much money that adds up to - and Navigon's MobileNavigator is one of them. In my opinion, it's a very close 2nd place to TomTom... I like TomTom's user interface a tiny bit better, and when I was testing them out (using one then the other) about a year ago, TomTom's maps and choice of routes seemed to be a little better in my part of the US (Eastern Shore).
With that said, both TomTom and Navigon have updated their apps since then, but I haven't gone back and tested them side by side again. A nice new feature from Navigon is that it calculates up to 3 routes and you can choose one after it displaces the path on a map, time and distance.. TomTom asks if you want to calculate route by speed, distance, etc but you can't see the differences before choosing.
A cool feature from TomTom is that you can navigate based on GPS data stored in a picture - e.g. if you've got a picture taken with an iPhone (one you took your self or one sent to you), you can select that picture, in TomTom and it'll plan a route for you. Very neat, but not necessary.
All that said, you asked about the iPad... While I don't have an iPad yet (waiting for 2nd gen), I'd choose Navigon over TomTom for the iPad because as far as I can tell, they don't have native iPad app... you'd have to zoom in on the iphone version. Navigon has an enhanced user interface for the iPad.
