NEW YORK-Delphi Automotive Systems and Palm Inc. introduced the Communiport Mobile Productivity Center that will dock and synchronize with a Palm V handheld using Palm’s HotSync technology, allowing drivers access to Palm content while in their vehicle.
The hands-free system uses voice recognition technology and a text-to-speech engine to retrieve information from and load information to the Palm handheld, the companies said. It fits into a vehicle cup holder and plugs into a standard 12-volt source such as a cigarette lighter.
