Motorola, Freescale, and Nikko roll out Wireless Wheels, iDen-controlled car
Motorola has partnered with Freescale Semiconductor and RF car kings Nikko to, er, roll out a new remote-controlled car that can be directed using a Motorola iDen handset (like the i860, shown. The car line, to be known as Wireless Wheels, can get a "speed boost" using the phone's push-to-talk button, and the phone's vibrate function acts as a simulation of "a steering wheel in a race." The phone also plays car sound effects and shows an animated display of a car in motion. Unfortunately, Moto has yet to announce how much these will go for and where they'll be sold, but we'll brave the crowds here at CES and see if we can grab one to play with for a minute.
