Why aren't they using Android, which already has text to voice, voice to text, GPS navigation, and almost everything else you might need in a car?
Or, at the very least, have the "Other OS" option enabled! WTF? Do I own the car or not?
Also, don't they see that they are destroying the "car analogy" meme? I wonder how the /. editors can't see the impact this is going to have on the slashvertising business.
