Daimler’s Smart Drive kit for the iPhone will be launched in the second base after part of 2010, the company announced. The kit is a computer hardware-software jazz band made to bring “all the features needed on the route.” This includes your medicine depository library, approach to contacts, Net wireless, earpiece functions, and maps with POI data coming from Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Bing. In addition, there’s the “Assist” lineament that automatically marks parking spot when undocked (a la Garmin Nuvifone) and can also provide Global Positioning System coordinates to the Smart hotline in suit, God forbid, something happens.
But that’s not all – Gottlieb Daimler is also working on an optional photographic camera that would sing along the Smart Drive kit to detect hurrying boundary signs and eventually warn you about it…
The hard part is the price. The hardware costs 240 EUR (about $326) whereas the accompanying diligence could be yours for 9.99 EUR (~$14). Moreover, there is the optional subscription of 50 EUR (~$68) for European and U.S. maps and live traffic information. In other words, Daimler wants about $400 of your hard earned money, and that’s just a commencement. They also wishing that in plus to Smart, you also buy yourself a Mercedes, but that’s another level.
