Thanks for the news, Dave. An interesting view and link re: autos and wireless from Red Herring. ......VVVVVVVVV

<<.....CATCH OF THE DAY: Log off and drive!

I stopped by the Blaupunkt booth at the Consumer Electronics
Show on Friday to get a quick update on the state of
navigation systems in automobiles. Like other car
electronics companies, Blaupunkt is shipping both
aftermarket navigation systems and components for "original
equipment" installation.

As spiffy as the current navigation systems are, though,
they only hint at the future of communications and computing
technology that will very quickly be rolling into new cars.
The auto makers are trying to get with the Net economy as
quickly as they can. On Sunday, at the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit, Ford CEO Jacques Nasser
unveiled his company's partnership with Yahoo as well as a
concept Ford in which the dashboard becomes an "information
portal."

Cars may slowly be becoming subscription services, like cell
phones. People who lease cars may never notice this --
although you can bet the information providers will. Or
perhaps automobiles will eventually sell for $199 (with
activation).

The inside of a car is an unbelievable marketing vehicle,
and we're probably in for a few interesting years of
experiments as the portals and car companies learn how to
best exploit their captive audiences......>>
