First, make sure your iPhone software is at the latest version by connecting the iPhone to your computer with its USB cable and clicking 'Check for Updates' in iTunes (you may need to update iTunes itself in order to obtain newer iPhone software releases).
There a couple ways to get Pandora on your iPhone:
1) Visit "www.Pandora.com" on your iPhone's Safari mobile web browser and click the blue download button, which will take you automatically to the correct download page within the "App Store" application on your iPhone.
2) Manually download Pandora from the "App Store" (blue icon) on your iPhone's desktop (search for "Pandora").
You will need an iTunes Store account to download any applications, including Pandora. Note that the email address associated with your iTunes Store account may be the same as your Pandora email address, although the passwords may be different.

Are all iPhone models supported? What about the iPod Touch?
Yes, all models of iPhone, including first-generation iPhones, 3G iPhones and 3GS iPhones are supported, as is the iPod Touch. In all cases, we recommend first making sure you have the latest iPhone/iPod Touch software upgrade, as above. 3GS iPhones and 3G iPhones can play Pandora via WiFi, 3G and EDGE connections. First-generation iPhones can play Pandora over WiFi and EDGE connections. The iPod Touch requires a WiFi connection to access Pandora.
For WiFi connections, the Pandora iPhone application automatically delivers Pandora in Higher Quality audio.
For 3G and EDGE connections, you can manually toggle between Higher Quality and Normal Quality audio, under the "Settings" tab within the Pandora Station screen, to adjust for signal strength in your listening area. This setting only affects audio quality on cellular-data-network connections.
In all other respects, the iPod Touch is identical to the iPhone regarding the Pandora application.

Read your OBD-II with iPhone using REV

2008-12-28T23:26:00.000-05:00

Read your OBD-II with iPhone using REV

Here's another iPhone application that demonstrates that soon there is nothing you won't be able to know if you have just one device. DevToaster has created an app called Rev that reads information straight from the OBD-II port on your car and displays it on your iPhone. When it's fully operational, Rev can display things like vehicle speed, RPM, fuel consumption, calculated engine load, and a host of other parameters. You'll even be able to check and reset engine and error codes.

The only hitch is that you need an OBD-II/WLAN interface that can beam the information from the port to the phone. DevToaster is working on that now; in the meantime, you can download Rev Lite at their site and we have a feeling California's going to work on more phone-centric activities to ban.

VIDEO: Driving games begin to land on iPhone

Posted May 10th 2008 2:54PM by Chris Shunk

The iPhone has been a hit since its release and Apple has ratcheted up the excitement the last couple of months, as the recently-released software development kit for the phone is already bearing fruit. In a short period of time and on what we'd guess is a very limited budget, one group of developers has designed a cool racing game called Raging Thunder that features quality graphics, a number of cars, and steering that utilizes the iPhone's revolutionary accelerometer. While the game isn't exactly groundbreaking, it demonstrates that we should see some very cool racing games when big-time developers really start to focus on the iPhone

SEMA 2007: Infill G4 in-dash PC

2008-03-11T14:19:00.000-04:00

The system features a 40 GB hard drive, 1.5 Ghz Pentium 4 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 800 X 480 6.5" Sharp touch screen display, wireless internet, a 3-second boot up time, built-in GPS, 3 USB ports, rear-view camera display compatibility and a DVD-ROM (What, no Blu-Ray?).

It also features steering wheel controls to operate the integrated 5.1 channel A/V system. And if you want to control any of the computer's functions while under way, it also has text-to-speech capability and advanced KT-HUVOIS speech recognition. Not that we'd recommend using it while in motion, but this system can turn your vehicle into one heck of a mobile office or den. The entire thing is also entirely self-contained in the dash-mount unit -- no remote HD or peripherals – which is impressive. The company promises a 40-minute install in most applications at any decent install shop. We'll try to get you more details when they become available, but for now you can get more by clicking on the Read link below or the image above.

CES 2008: CarShield offers telematics

Posted Jan 16th 2008 6:03PM by Chris Tutor
Filed under: Gadgets, CES, Safety

That little red box contains a lot of electronic goodies that, until now, were only available as options on newer vehicles. Plug that plastic rectangle into your car's diagnostics port and CarShield puts you in touch with your car like never before.

Like most simple telematic systems, it contains cellular capabilities, GPS and Bluetooth. Those technologies allow car owners to open locked car doors with a Bluetooth mobile phone and track where there car is, has been or is going. Got a teen driver? If the little brat ventures outside your pre-determined boundaries, the CarShield will send you a text message to let you know.

Perhaps more useful to the general population, though, are CarShields diagnostic features. It monitors your car's health, and alerts you via text message if your battery is getting weak, if your tires are low or, in some cars, if you need an oil change.
