Telemetria Telephony Technology Inc, founded by Alen Nejeh, has developed the first in-car PC with broadband connectivity. The company is aiming for a 2009 release date. The system includes features such as Smart Navigation, Real Time Traffic Monitoring--which predicts the best driving routes based on real time traffic patterns, and Web Services--including online maps, search engines, and much more through the built in LAN/WAN connectivity. The computer itself is an easily removable seven inch screen that conveniently plugs into the dashboard of the car. Partnered with Intel, Telemetria hopes to establish a new and successful piece of technology, which hopes to serve as the "platform for vehicular applications." Other features of the device include control over all in-car systems such as the DVD player, alarm system, or radio/CD player from both the front and back seats. Video steaming on YouTube and other sites is manageable on the system's bandwidth of 3G, but developers are hoping to establish a bandwidth of at least 4G to allow for high quality streaming. The in-car PC works with any car, but can only be used with models newer than 1996. The cost to purchase this device is currently unknown, but developers estimate a price of under $1000.
