Sony ericsson Bluetooth Car CAR-100

During CeBit 2003, Sony Ericsson's stand showed a circuit where one could control some small cars from T68i phones through Bluetooth. The demonstration was so successful that Sony Ericsson has decided to launch it to the market, for the joy of kids and the grown-ups.

The Bluetooth car is compatible with all Bluetooth enabled cell phones from Sony ericsson. To charge the Car, just connect it with your cell phone and it'll take around one hour to completely charge it. It has a running time of one hour too. You can use the joystick or navigation keys to control the car in any direction. Furthmore, there are two gears or levels of speed defined for the car. For Sony ericsson p800 and p900, driver kits are easily available that when installed on the cell phone, you get the graphical way of driving your Car.

Functionality

When you turn it on the car will automatically connect to the paired mobile phone. If the car is already on but not connected, just press the button for a second and it'll look for the mobile phone. The car shuts itself off after a certain time. If you ever neede to reset the configuration and pairing information, press the button for 30 seconds while charging.

Conclusion

The car is a bit expensive as compared to other remote control cars. Its controlling from a mobile phone make it unique and stand out in the crowd. For everyone who head about this accessory for the first time, become amazed and got impressed by the concept. In my opinion, this Bluetooth Car is not just a car, if developers took this idea more further, they can make real life easier with the help of cell phone and Bluetooth.
