1/2 gold + 1/2 donkey dung = this idea]]>Feb 23rd 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/"So you have to get locked into an expensive contract before you buy our already expensive car.."
What part of this is cool?

What happens when you are leaving a mansion party after some supermodel pushes you into the swimming pool and soaks your iPhone? Do you not get headlights on the drive home? Or turn signals?]]>Feb 23rd 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/
I can't rely the car on being controlled by a phone, even if it is "non-driving functions". I need the control of the entire car at my hands, not on a phone sitting on a dashboard.
I ain't feelin' this idea! No sirree!]]>Feb 23rd 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 25th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/
This reeks of FAIL (and a potentially deadly kind too).]]>Feb 23rd 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/

An iphone as a pre-req to buy the car seems like a bad idea. Though I found a bright side, less iphone users after the phone causes the car to crash.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 23rd 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 24th 2009 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/
This is a fail wrapped around a win. Awesome concept, anyway.

I can see the touchpad becoming built-in rather than a discrete component, though. This was more likely for lots of free advertising on gullible websites like Engadget.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/Feb 24th 2009 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/rinspeeds-ichange-ev-is-an-iphone-integrated-shape-shifter/
*WARNING*

You're about to steer a car with an iPhone.
