Pioneer Smart Cradle for iPhone



Pioneer's Smart Cradle for your car's dashboard just might give your smartphone an inferiority complex.
This prototype Smart Cradle iPhone dock for your car contains built-in GPS - no more relying on a data connection for your iPhone GPS app to draw the map on your display. The car-dock also includes a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. The Smart Cradle also has Bluetooth for hands-free calling and has an automatic sound leveler, which raises or lowers the phone's speaker volume in accordance to noise levels within the car.
This early prototype look pretty finished if you ask me. But Pioneer says pricing and availability are still unknowns.
