Since there’s still no definite cure for the clueless driver, having a few “smarts†on the road should welcome palliative solution. Smart Auto, a division of Daimler AG, just launched a new cradle and an application for iPhone to form a Smart drive kit specifically designed for their rear-engine two-seater car, the Smart Fortwo. The first part of the drive kit is the stylish and practical phone holder dubbed as the Smart cradle. It features a control unit, a microphone and a convenient hands-free system that utilizes the car’s stereo both as a sound output and phone loudspeakers. The second part of the smart kit is the Smart drive application for iPhone; it has basically all the features you would need on the road merged into one. It uses a handy set of extra-large icons, buttons and letters for ease of use when driving. This application’s features include a media player with integrated web radio function and a hands free system that works with the cradle.
The real road friendly attribute of the iPhone Smart app lies in its Map and Car Finder feature. The basic version of the map shows the car’s location and displays different point of interest using an internal and online database. The upgraded version turns the iPhone into a full and independent navigation system complete with voice navigation and real-time traffic information. The Car Finder, on the other hand, automatically marks where you left your car using the iPhone’s GPS and it can also be used for providing your location during call for roadside assistance.

New year is coming and you should be ready. I know you have created a new year’s resolution list and I also know that burning that winter fat is included in the list. No one can really blame you on that because everybody loves eating during the holidays especially when it is so cold outside, you don’t have anything else to do but to sit down on the couch and chow down with whatever your taste buds crave.
While this scenario is inevitable, you might want to try biking to wage the war against the pounds. For one, biking is a good cardiovascular exercise and it gets you to different places which is a good way to get some fresh air. For a better workout, Pedal Brain is a good investment to start. Pedal Brain is an integrated device that monitors your workout and also a coaching platform. By monitoring your workout, you can see how many calories you have burned, your heart rate and so on using your existing ANT+ sensors. But it doesn’t end at monitoring since the coaching platform can recommend what you should do for your ride like how many minutes would you go, when to rest, when to power pedal. Like a real coach, the Pedal Brain tracks your trail using the built-in GPS on your iPhone. The collected data can be uploaded to the web app and also on your Twitter or Facebook account so your friends can see your progress.
It is really nice that products such as this allow people to know their performance and analyze it to gain better and significant results.
