Your idea's more likely to be supported by people that want us to actually buy new gadgets, though. ;)]]>Mar 4th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/
In all those things, I would prefer to still be driving my car.]]>Mar 4th 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/
It's much more economical to have an upgraded set of functionality determined by a mobile device. No need to buy a nav system for your car if your handset can do it. Also, why keep music in sync on a car system? If your saying you don't think a car should require you to have a mobile device, then I agree completely. I think this should be billed as the evolution of Sync/Onstar/Blueetooth/MP3 player car integration. Basically a degree of modularity to display and audio sharing. I doubt the auto makers will like that idea though, they would rather sell you a hard mounted nav system worth $500 for $5000, than a universal dock and display for $1000.

Shouldn't Engadget staff burst into flames if they say such things in the context of Nokia? :p]]>Mar 4th 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/Mar 4th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/Mar 4th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/i would rank you up for that. but i can't.]]>Mar 4th 2010 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/Mar 4th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/Mar 4th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/
i dont think people want to have a huge phone on their dashboard.

and, i think phone UIs wont be as nice or comfortable to use in cars.

Why ?
You still can have an application with the right UI started when car cradle is detected, i dont see a problem here. I fact, this could be a good modular concept, with car manufacturer releasing its own car interface for most used platforms (Adnroid/Symbian/iPhone/whatever (or imagine your preffered order here :D))]]>Mar 4th 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/nokias-terminal-mode-spotted-in-the-wilds-of-the-geneva-motor-s/
