Nokia Car Mode: central vehicle for the Belle

Whether your future phone will run Symbian or Nokia Belle. For both cases (which are actually only one) Nokia has developed a specific application to act as a central vehicle. The Nokia Car Mode brings more options desired by drivers in command of a wheel. With touchscreen interface is even better.

The application was first demonstrated at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011 but only now Nokia Car Mode gives the guys at Nokia store for immediate download. And most importantly, free download, as Nokia has a tradition of offering software solutions for themselves.

The Nokia Car Mode have quick access to telephony features, entertainment (read music) and direction. In the most important, the direction, you can activate the GPS device and connect it to the vehicle sound system to listen to driving directions and at the same time, enjoy the sound that you love. To this end, the vehicle must have connectivity by default MirrorLink, a novelty that Nokia and other companies support. This version of the software costs $ 20 in their store.

According to the company, use the Nokia Car Mode causes distractions for the driver to be smaller. As far as I know, Google also offers something similar on Android - an automotive module with access to basic features of the device. I do not know if the iPhone offers similar feature natively.

Nokia promised that the application reaches a specific version for the Nokia N9 (read the review of the Tecnoblog written by me), which runs MeeGo soon.
