Cool Gadgets You'll See in 2009, (Part 1) 2

by Tom Samiljan on January 7, 2009 at 12:01 AM



If there's one thing that's been missing from our daily drives over the past few years, it's Internet radio. That's because no one seems to have worked on getting our car stereo to hook up to the Internet -- until now. Blaupunkt today demonstrated the world's first in-dash Internet Car Radio. Thanks to Bluetooth, Blaupunkt's new device uses your cell phone's data connection to access the MiRoamer service, which streams your favorite Web radio stations. This means you get "reception" anywhere you have cell phone service. Pretty nifty, but we're just happy that we'll be able to get the diverse offerings of Web radio playing in our car, because Sirius/XM's robo-playlists just aren't doing it for us.
