On the consumer electronics side, LG, Samsung and Nokia are in on the game, along with OEM suppliers Alpine and Panasonic. The reason these industry decided it was time to collaborate is simple. There are too many platforms and unless you are packing an iPhone or iPod, you're largely left in the cold. Most vehicles are available with an optional USB input that can connect to Apple's 30-pin connector and integrates with the stereo. At this point, your only option is Bluetooth streaming, and it means you've got to fiddle with your phone while on the go. U.S.
The idea behind Nokia's Terminal Mode is simple: You plug in your phone and all the apps and multimedia functionality can be accessed through your car's touchscreen. Not only that, but the user interface looks almost identical to the one on your phone, so there's no learning curve.
