Microsft + Ford VS Apple + VW?? WTF? Will your next car be a PC or a Mac?
Aug 31st
icrosoft-built Sync audio system out in NYC yesterday. This is the same system we were so amazed with before the Detroit Auto Show. Check out the above video to see a Ford PR staffer talk to his car, and then blatantly pander to our videographer by sending a text message of “gawker rules” to the Sync-ed up phone — all while showing off this amazingly cool system.[Jalopinik]

le Iconcept was cool 10 years ago… No wait it wasn’t. Technology and a car should not only be seamless it should have that wow factor. Now we are going to get back to demoing our new on-board computer friend out. We have named him KITT. I hope it doesn’t turn evil and start text messaging our ex-girlfriends @ 3 in the morning. No really, it does voice to pre-set text messages, search for MP3 author by voice and so much more. Pretend to be Knight Rider today.. No wait. That would make you David Hasselhoff… Alright pass.

of Course you do… Who wouldn’t right??
Well This is utterly amazing… I didn’t really grasp how cool it was until I used it… I dialed up 23907 and hit send text message and typed out my text query…ABOUT [topic]
about wikipedia
And I got back a link dumb quick which put me into wikipedia mobile with the word spelled out phonetically and quick links to more information. In a matter of seconds I now know as of August 1st 2007 Wikipedia has 7.9 million articles. 1.932 million are in English….
You can also do NEWS [topic] and pull links for recent headlines.
Wow now I too can be the life of the party… Winner of all things trivia… Geek of all geeks. Yeah the last one is probably the closest to reality. So geek out to yourself but have the option :)
SMS service GoLive! Mobile now offers a convenient text messaging interface to
the Wikipedia. Text the words about to short code23907
and you’ll get back a link to a mobile-friendly, shortened Wikipedia page. This is fantastic for quick trivia look-ups on the go – but it does require that you can surf the web on your cell phone. (If only they texted you back the results…) Just beware of GoLive! Mobile’s homepage, which features an annoying “Chat with us!” box that floats back and forth across the screen. Also, your mobile plan’s regular SMS charges apply. [From Micro Persuasion via Lifehacker]
