Cars as Personal Communication Devices? Maybe...
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 11:00 AM
"When Bart Watson leaves home to go on a business trip, his personal communication services will accompany him. The e-mails he studied on his PC at home will also be available on the terminal in his car, where they are read to him by his handheld device while he drives. This seamless handover from broadband internet connection at home to DVB-T connection in the car is one of the research results by EU project DAIDALOS, which will be demonstrated at a public workshop in Stuttgart on 14 December...Among the technical demonstrations is the seamless use of a personalised communication service, like e-mail or digital video, while moving from fixed-line internet in the exhibition space at Stuttgart university to mobile broadcasting via DVB-T in a car parked in front of the building."
This article brings up an interesting question: have you modifed your car to become a communications or digital media hub? The only mod I've done is to buy a stereo that will play back MP3/WMA burned onto CD-Rs. ;-) What about you? Any cool car rigs?
