I wonder if you can buy the system without them installing it so you could put it in any vehicle...]]>Aug 13th 2008 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://b2b.vzw.com/broadband/bbapccard.html

Why would a user want to limit wireless access to a wired box in the car?
I guess they know their customers, these are after all the same people who by Chrysler cars...

Hey I have an idea! what about getting in-home-EVDO. So I can wire a box to my desk, and they also wire my laptop to that box. It's just like home broadband but wireless, so that's good right?

This is sad, very sad.

I wonder how many people will be pounding on their laptops yelling "SPEED UP YOU BASTARD!!!" while driving behind some random dude who is having a bad day and is to brake-check you... just because your internet was going slow! I mean, seriously, 400-800 KBps?

Well, I've had worse, but it would be nice to watch some porn doing unspeakable things while driving in front of a minivan full of little kids and behind a cop... oh wait. Never mind.

This whole internet-while-driving thing is not looking so good...]]>Aug 13th 2008 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/Aug 13th 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/Because some people may want to use wifi Internet in their car.

Because not everyone has Internet on their phone.- Good point, but, I stated that most people reading about this will be the type of people who would have internet access on a cell phone.

Because some people may want to use wifi Internet in their car.- If your phone connects to the internet, you've got wifi internet in your car (and anywhere else you get coverage)

Because this could serve many people at one time, such as you may find in a minivan.- Connect a laptop to the phone and use ICS, all are happy. Better yet, run server on the laptop and have a rolling domain. I don't typically need to serve a crowd on the road, but, I'll accept this as a good point anyway.

Because this has package management specifically designed to keep your connection active while in motion.- They're using the same towers the EVDO phone is using and the tech they're talking about is unlikely to prevent you from losing connection. If you're not covered, you're not covered. What they are doing is making it look like you don't loose connection with cached data. When you get your link back it hits the car. Chances are it will have a slightly better connection if they decide to hook it up to an external antenna, but, if they honestly want people to believe that they will NEVER loose connectivity, they are sadly mistaken.]]>Aug 13th 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/Aug 13th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/]]>Aug 13th 2008 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/Aug 13th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/chryslers-499-uconnect-web-in-car-ev-do-system-coming-this-mon/
