- Vrooooom! Start your car (and more) from your iPhone or iPod touch
Filed under: Accessories, iPhone, Holidays, iPod touch
TUAW reader Ethan pointed us in the direction of something new, cool, and available only for iPhone and iPod touch (take that, Palm Pre and Android phones!)
BestBuy has an exclusive on the new Viper SmartStart System, which can do a number of things for your wheels:
- Start your car with virtually unlimited range
- Warm your car in winter; cool your car in summer
- Unlock your car or truck
- Arm the alarm to protect your car
- Activate panic alarm to protect yourself
- Receive push-button status notifications
There are two versions available: a module (SmartStart VSM100 Module, US$299.99) for cars that are already equipped with compatible Viper starting systems, and a fully loaded package (SmartStart VSM4000 System, US$499.99) for the rest of us.
Some of the app reviewers have noted that you're not only paying for the system and your iPhone bill, but there's also a US$29 monthly GSM service bill that you'll have to pay. However, if the money isn't an object and you're already clueless about what to get a loved one for Christmas, this might be an idea to consider.TUAWVrooooom!

Filed under: Humor, Cult of Mac, iPhone, Holidays
You have to hand it to Reko andBobbyJohn for their stick-to-it-iveness; they were behind a similar set of iPhone costumes in 2007, but those didn't have the fully-functional power of these new outfits. Yes, those are LCD TVs on the front (not touchable, sadly) showing content from the (almost certainly) jailbroken iPhones mounted on top; yes, each getup weighs 85 pounds because it includes a car battery to power the display. I can see how the illusion would be broken by a 500-foot charging cable trailing behind them as they trick-or-treat their way around the subdivision.
There's a part of me that wants to tell these guys to apply their wild, inventive energy to more productive pursuits. And yet... there's another bit of reptile brain that simply sits and watches, in awe.
Thanks to John for the tip!
