KDDI offers Toshiba TiMo

Toyota has worked with KDDI to develop the TiMo cellphone that turns car navigation and similar services for drivers into child’s play. This TiMo handset will be based on the W44T cellphone that was announced earlier this year, and will be available only in Toyota’s car outlets around Japan. The TiMo will connect to Toshiba’s Bluetooth navigation system that is integrated in the vehicle, booting up the navigation software upon a successful connection for greater efficiency. A docking station that doubles up as a charger for the TiMo is also included. Pressing the emergency button will enable the driver to ask for directions and help, turning driving into a safer, more pleasurable experience.
