Microsoft Making Ford Sync-like Music, Info System for Hyundai in 2010

Hyundai and Microsoft have just agreed for the latter to develop software for the former's cars, shoving in a "music and information system" by the year 2010. No details yet, but from the sound of things it seems like Microsoft's taking advantage of their experience with the Ford Sync system and making voice-control systems to manage stereos and cellphones. The new system is also interesting because it's software-updatable, allowing nerds to bring up that old joke about what would happen if Microsoft built cars. The whole thing is aimed at bringing more young people into Hyundais, something Ford Sync was surprisingly good at doing. [Reuters]

The Provia A7, developed by Hyundai Telematics, is even more souped-up than its predecessor, the horny-making A1. It starts with a slim 7" 800 x 480 LCD, adds an animated touch interface, then packs in navigation, simultaneous reception of T-DMB TV and TPEG traffic and other data, a removable battery and a freakin' gaming system...with game controller! It's all in the video, with catchy "Mappy" theme song, below. More »

Hyundai W-100 Wrist Phone Most Feature-Rich Yet, and Now It's Real

This Hyundai W-100 Wrist Phone is not the first cellphone in the form factor of a watch, and it's probably not going to be the last, either. Hyundai is apparently marketing this watch we showed you in the form of prototype last summer from Chinese company Cect. That's a lot of tech to pack into a small space, and this is the best looking watch phone we've seen yet, too.

The Hyundai S90D has a 1ms response time, integrated speakers, integrated tv-tuner (!!), 1000:1 contrast ration, 300cd/m3 brightness and native resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 19 inches.

Perfume Phone Leads Us to Ask Why? Why?

Forget spritzing some scent on your wrists and neck. Obviously, it's much better if your perfume can just be released into the air every time you open your cellphone. Adds a certain, je ne sais quoi, non? Well, it adds something alright. Like a whopping $1200 price tag. I mean, I know many of you have been cursing your stinky RAZR keypads (Behind The RAZR : From Highbrow and Stylin to Smelly and Cheap), but this may be going over the top. The Hyundai MP280, is a clamshell phone with changeable cover panels and a syringe that allows you to add your own perfume to the phone. The company says just about 2 drops of any scent will last about 8 hours. A butterfly is in the center of the phone and marks the spot where you do your injections. Not so sure I'd want my kids playing with a needle filled with alcohol—very Motley Crue—but hey, it's all in good fun right? More »
