Continental first started making excited noises about its Android-powered AutoLinQ in-car media solution last year, and has today announced that it’s teaming up with Deutsche Telekom to finally bring the media/internet/mapping tool to real-world cars.
Computer Weekly reports that Continental, in conjunction with Deutsche Telecom, will reveal an updated version of AutoLinQ at this year’s Cebit tech show, bringing “always on” internet, maps, address books, satnav and apps to any cars whose owners are rich enough to shell out for the touchscreen Android system.
Here’s some quite terrible promotional photography illustrating the sort of FUN this innovation will open up:
Continental showed off AutoLinQ at this year’s CES, and will be taking it to Cebit – which kicks off on March 2, 2010. A separate AutoLinQ Application Store will launch alongside the device, whenever it finally arrives.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
