ps. engadget calling this iPhone like was possibly the worst thing that could ever happen, it really didnt make me like the technology as much as i would have without that comment. the iphone was only shown as an example, i believe every smartphone will be usable with this car.]]>Apr 15th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
but anyway, the interface still seems pretty laggy and not that responsive to touches. thats the problem with most large touch screen interfaces in museums and showrooms etc. i would think by now it would be smooth transitions and no waiting times.]]>Apr 16th 2009 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 16th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/

I cannot think of anything more stupid for car controls than something which purposely causes you to look at it to use it.
Well.. I suppose they could wow us with their ability to use the windshield as a giant monitor to show movies on...

You guys really have to get past the 'touchscreen == iPhone' thing. Apple didn't have it first, nor are they they only ones.]]>Apr 15th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
What is it 2007?]]>Apr 15th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
Also, they've made a car I want to drive... I'm getting my Challenger SRT-8 in a few days..]]>Apr 15th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
If this is how Chrysler is using our taxpayer dollars, then I hope they go under real soon. Maybe YOU want the Challenger SRT-8, but apparently most of America doesn't agree or else Chrysler wouldn't be where it is today: last place even among Detroit's big three]]>Apr 15th 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
This is... terrible, quite frankly.]]>Apr 15th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
I'm not worried about this though, because even if Chrysler survives long enough to put this to market, anyone stupid enough to buy a chrysler product deserves to wrap it around a tree. ]]>Apr 15th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/
Also, see the other touch-screen dashboard discussion for a plethora of examples why using touch technology to operate your car is a disastrous idea.]]>Apr 15th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/Apr 15th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/video-chryslers-iphone-like-dashboard-makes-your-car-look-lame/

No, it's really easy not to appreciate something that requires you to look where you're pressing, when there's been tactile controls for decades that lets you, oh I don't know, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!]]>Apr 15th 2009 11:01AM
