The Video and below brief have just been released at the Detroit Auto show and further information is expected to come from big Bill Gates at CES soon. Think for now this sums it up enough though. Sounds pretty great I hope the voice activation is really that easy!, maybe in the future they could add different voices for the in car message read out service, my fav would have to be MR T reading out my sms’s while I cruise around!.
