General Motors Could Begin Offering Twitter In Their Cars

1 views

An early April Fool’s Day joke, or the real deal? You judge.

I was reading General Motors is planning to offer OnStar security, communications, navigation and diagnostics system.

GM offers OnStar as a subscription service in the US and Canada for vehicles it sells in those markets that have the factory-installed OnStar equipment. The service currently has more than five million subscribers in North America (see the Wikipedia entry if you want detailed information about OnStar).

TwitterFone – call in your tweets from your mobile phone and the service converts your voice recording into text and then tweets your message. Your voice recording is also available.

I’ve used that service and it’s pretty neat.

It’s amazing the imagination at work from so many people with GearLive says it’s the real deal

If Twitter and OnStar isn’t, I’d say it’s only a matter of time before someone offers something like this, somewhere.
