Anyone care to explain how this patent promotes the Progress of Science and useful Arts?]]>May 25th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 25th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/
Wi-Fi Ext-HDD's with integrated headunits for the win. Then I can access my phone from my briefcase from my car... without any of this excess docking shite.

Because if it weren't for patents, no one would have financial incentive to do anything new?]]>May 25th 2007 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 25th 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/
If you think about it, there is not other system that does this, so it is wise of them to file a patent for it.]]>May 25th 2007 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/

That says to me, "back away slowly"]]>May 26th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/ "yeah hold on let me sync my ipod to a microsoft car stereo, pshhhh"

If I'm not mistaken (a dubious assumption at best) you won't be syncing your iPod so much as your IPAQ (2215), which is what that device looks for all the world like.

The truly amusing thing is my Ipaq 2215 IS actually what I use for tunes while driving, albeit via a cassette adapter...

As for docking a genuin DAP into some kind of dash-mounted head unit...pshaw...I've been asking for that for years... ]]>May 25th 2007 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 25th 2007 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 25th 2007 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 26th 2007 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/May 26th 2007 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/
"True no on else has specifically done this but I would hardly call this novel...it's f***ing USB fro your car... wow...gee awesome... I need to get license right away so I can still use my Via Linux box in my trunk that I use to serve up media and log gps."

True, but it's USB for your car that comes stock (as in optional) in new Ford vehicles (soon).]]>May 26th 2007 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/]]>May 28th 2007 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/microsoft-patent-details-in-car-stereo-with-docking-station/Jun 27th 2007 9:37AM
