In-car device that reads your email

Now listen to email you receive while driving.

Intelligent Mechatronic Systems' (IMS) iLane, the first in-car device that interacts directly with your smart phone and lets you manage your inbox hands-free, using simple voice commands.

iLane, a portable smart phone-compatible device, which can be installed inside vehicles and gives drivers the ability to control their smart phones entirely hands-free. iLane reads out e-mails to the user, on command, and it allows for access and control of other smart phone applications by voice command, including managing phone calls, SMS messages, and calendars. iLane also provides on-demand access to news and weather content from The Associated Press and The Weather Network.

Users have an option to send two stock email responses - "I am in transit and will respond shortly" or "Call me if it's important" - or they can record a 15-minute voice memo, which the iLane will send as an email attachment.

iLane is available now through the iLane website at www.ilane.com or through E-Access in North America - http://eaccessinc.com - at $599 (Rs. 30,321.13 approx.), plus $7.99 (Rs. 404.33 approx.) per month. iLane is currently compatible with BlackBerry 8000 series and smart phones running BlackBerry OS 4.1 and newer versions. Compatibility with additional operating systems will be available throughout 2009.
