I want one (see <a href="http://onqpl.blogspot.com/2008/11/embrace-your-inner-challenger.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a>).<br /><br />Seriously, good ideas. Some folks are thinking about this kind of integration, including Renault. See <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2011/07/08/renault-frendzy-concept-car-packs-a-blackberry-playbook/" rel="nofollow">this article</a> on BerryReview<br /><br />Also, this kind of integration could be very useful in electric cars.

The PlayBook would have an application for the associated car. When docked with the car and the application activated (maybe automatically when docked), the App would handle the general HVAC and other diagnosis of the car. <br /><br />The user could then, in theory, load their music to their PlayBook and take it with them in the car. And conversely, the user can have car information (trip, MPG, fluid levels, diagnostics) to study/graph when they are away from the car.<br /><br />I have a Challenger that records 0-60 times. So, other fun things would be able to show 0-60 times to other owners and maybe course over lays to replay track times.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12828222691272283324noreply@blogger.com
