\nI discovered a few days ago that the Android ICS update for my Galaxy Note comes with Bluetooth Tethering. This means that the phone can share its internet connection with bluetooth devices, like a laptop. Today, while driving, it occurred to me that my Parrot Asteroid car deck can use a bluetooth internet connection … so I parked the car and started experimenting.Well I ended up with a “Roku For The Car”. Running the maps app got me a google map view, centered on my GPS location (The asteroid has a GPS receiver). Turning the volume knob works as a map zoom, so I could see in detail where I was. That’s about all it does, you can’t pan around since the display is not a touchscreen, nor can you search, since there’s no keyboard.<\/p>\n

Live radio worked well. Since my unit is from the UK it seems to have come preconfigured with lots of UK streaming radio stations. Since my phone is on 3G\/HSDPA most of the time, it should work well within the city area.<\/p>\n

Beyond that … nothing much new to see. My Galaxy Note on it’s car dock does more.<\/p>\n
