This looks so cool -- a car remote-controllable by your BT-enabled phone. Imagine being able to bond this with your Pocket PC? Think of the development applications! I hope it uses a supported profile...

"For the ones who want to experience car racing outside of the phone, the limited-edition Bluetooth CAR-100 is the perfect accessory for a Sony Ericsson Bluetooth phone. Not much larger than a matchbox, this little speedster has two gears and can be navigated from up to 10 meters’ distance with a phone’s keypad or joystick."



Why do such a thing, you ask? W?BIC!

hahahaha... if you could control it with a PPC I'd buy one! Talk about a seriously fun accessory for my 2215! :lol:

Cool! Now I can run this car along my dashboard while I drive AND use the phone at the same time! :crazyeyes: Seriously though, this could be fun. How about everyone brings their car to a meeting and does races on the table!

Mini RC cars were one of the "hot" gifts last Christmas too . . .

8O Finally, something that I'd buy Bluetooth for! They make these for the PPC and I'm there! I really like the table-top-race-at-meetings idea! :takethat:

Ditto - This is too COOL. nfire: Maybe we can get some table top races going between PDA's or PDA's against phones or just plain iPAQ against the world. :shocked!: :takethat:

Jeff -

This is cool!

I'd like to see a BT version of the mini-tank a guy at work brought in. It's one of those IR jobbies that you can even shoot at other tanks and stuff.

Someone please develop a program to use it wit our ipaq!

While at it, make sure that you include some sort of dashboard with gauges for our PPC screen ! :lol:

Now if they would just add one of those small cell-phone-size cameras to the front, and send the images back to your phone, you wouldn't even have to see it to drive it! The ultimate remote control!
