Now You Can Use Your Cellphone While Driving
Not quite the most useful application, but over in Japan they've come up with a device to turn your mobile phone into a controller for a remote controlled car. This is clearly a pretty small niche system (though, you never know how fads are going to catch on), but I wonder if it's the start of other companies starting to build "add-on" modules that turn your mobile phone into something entirely different.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
