Car safety device manufacturer Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (IMS) has launched a new system designed to give field staff and other frequent travellers easy hands and eyes-free access to their corporate email systems from behind the wheel.
IMS’s iLane is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled phones and mobile devices such as Palm and BlackBerry, and provides a voice-based interface to access emails. This allows the user to keep their eyes on the road, according to the firm's vice president of marketing, John Reynolds.

I think its a good idea, especially since i drive stick, its damn hard to answer important emails while driving (and pulling over is NOT a possibility in downtown vancouver)

And, exactly what is so life-threatening or world-ending critical that you can't wait 10-15 minutes and park your dang car and then reply to an email? I really would like to know what is so damn important that you're willing to risk slamming into me with a 2000 lb piece of metal at 40 or so mph that couldn't wait until you park and called the person back or replied to that email.
It's already been proven - cell phone drivers are worse than drunk drivers.
Perhaps this just shows that Canadian's don't drive as well as everyone else? *LOL* Or we just like to be "uberconnected" *LOL*
