HC - re: "Hands free internet in the car...and remember, through MYTALK, GMGC has already proven you can "dial a number" with your voice only..."

Another interesting (but probably obvious) aspect of all this is that there appears to be an increasing movement toward the banning of cell-phone use while driving (except in emergencies). Here in my state (Missouri), legislation was just introduced and is now pending that would make cellular phone usage in cars illegal. If this catches on nationwide (like mandatory seat-belt laws), there clearly will be huge demand for hands-on-the-wheel communication capabilities, especially by most businessmen and just about everybody else who have become so accustomed to using their cell phones while driving. The question is, how much would we all be willing to pay per call or per month to have the ability to make phone calls while driving (not to mention Internet access, etc.) via simple voice commands? Probably a lot!!

Given the GM relationship, GMGC's technology would now appear to be in the driver's seat and extremely well-positioned to benefit from this potential trend.

Best of Luck
