Well, you knew it had to happen sooner or later...

Associated Press: Chrysler to make cars into wireless hotspots.

They'll use cellular for backhaul-hooray, another hole in your pocket for money to dribble out of-and be equippped with 30-gigabyte hard drives for onboard storage. Hmmm...only 30? Kinda small these days, don't you think?

As if drivers these days needed any more distractions.

Oh, by the way-I stopped in at the North Kansas City Public Library this afternoon, and there's no mention on their acceptable use policy clickthrough page of the new wireless printing feature ath64 noted on their website. In fact, the clickthrough page still says printing isn't available via Wi-Fi. If it's for real and anyone's using it, there has to be someone or something here able to provide the particulars (IP address, how to load the driver, etc.). I'll ask around and see if anyone has more info. If they do, I'll update this post later with it.

Update: See next post.
