  • MountMe Freedom mount for the Apple iPad

    When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad, a lot of people got angry. "What are we supposed to do with that?", they asked. "It's not a computer, it's not a phone, it's just another expensive gew-gaw!" Then came iPad apps and magazines and a slew of competitors using the Android platform, and today it's clear that tablet computers are much more useful than many first thought -- for some folks, they're indispensable. Now, a company called MountMe (terrible name) has created a case/mount combo that lets those people use their tablets in more places, including the car. We've seen car mounts for the iPad...

    Designing an effective car interior isn't easy. Car companies need to think about the design, the features, and the ergonomics.

    Saab Selling iPads As 2011 9-4X Placeholders

    The 2011 Saab 9-4X made its official debut at last week's Los Angeles Auto Show, and in case you missed it--it looks pretty much exactly like we all expected it to. What's unusual, however, is how Saab is pre-selling the crossover: buy an iPad from a Saab dealer to hold your place in line, and get...

  • Apple iPad

    The Apple iPad has become an intriguing accessory for cars, especially in marketing them. The Hyundai Equus comes with one containing its owners' manual, and both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have shown innovative ways of attaching the handy device in the car. Now Acura is joining the band of luxury automakers using the Apple iPad to help attract customers. In Acura’s case, the automaker plans to launch a stripped-down version of its consumer Web site as an application for the iPad. Essentially, dealers will be able to use the iPad to help show customers Acura’s full range and features...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 BMW X3 Live Photos (With iPad!)

    BMW outlined the U.S. specs of its 2011 X3 crossover earlier this month, and at the 2010 Paris auto show, it displayed the new South Carolina-built SUV for the first time in public.

    Update: Apple's iPad Does Fit in the 2011 Hyundai Equus

    We've driven the 2011 Hyundai Equus a few times, and have come away impressed with the Korean automaker's first take on traditional, full-size luxury.
