San Francisco - Advance movie ticket seller Fandango said on Wednesday that it has partnered with Microsoft's Tellme to add voice-activated movie information for mobile phones. Initially available for BlackBerry devices, with Helio Mysto phones to be added, the service uses GPS technology to target showtimes and provide directions to theaters. Microsoft’s Tellme Purchase Will Have Immediate Impact on its Car PlansAuthored by Scott Goldberg on March 14, 2007 - 6:46pm.
I spoke with Ruth Seymour yesterday, GM for KCRW, a Los Angeles-based radio station, and our conversation turned to internet connectivity in cars. She doubted we would see such innovation any time soon, and I assured her we would. But she continued to doubt. Perhaps her skepticism had to do with the disbelief that satellite radio’s end would be so near, something she predicted would happen once internet connectivity in cars becomes common. Afterward I sent a link to an article describing Microsoft Sync’s relationship with Ford and she responded via email, “I believe if this goes thru, other car manufacturers will follow suit.” Ruth, I believe you are correct.
