Constantly checking e-mail on BlackBerry devices is considered pretty standard by now, as many busy workers suffer from what’s known as “ringxiety,” but what if wireless technology could be integrated straight into your car?

Telematics today includes auto manufacturers with abundant service offerings and smartphones applications becoming a part of the vehicle’s interior — providing entertainment, navigation, traffic data and even social networking inside the vehicle. There is stiff competition between auto manufacturers, all trying to do outdo each other by designing the best in-vehicle telematics features.
