Yes, a little more news from Pioneer today, perhaps the biggest for those not looking for a new head unit. It's the SmartCradle, which accepts an iPhone and offers integrated GPS, ala the Magellan GPS Car Kit. It also has a built-in amplified speaker and microphone for hands-free calling and, thankfully, has charging built-in to keep you from running out of juice half-way to Topkea. No word on a price yet, sadly, nor a release date, but good things come to those who wait.
