With an entire floor dedicated at the CTIA to apps and gadgets available for drivers to use their mobiles while driving, clearly there is a lot of thought going on in this area. Ranging from iPhone applications where some software will stop you from texting beyond certain speed limit to other that will read out your messages loud enough, a non-Apple product iLane truly gives you a command over your smartphones by voice control.
The device not only allows you to open, read and compose emails using Voice commands but also allows you to dial and receive phone calls simply by saying out the name of the person loud. What’s more than the driver being able to have the device read out the calendar events loud. This secure device can work with most Blackberry smartphones via Bluetooth at a secured connection of 256 BIT AES Encryption so your secrets don’t leak outside the car.
