Sony-Ericsson CAR-100

Wow, this is cool, if a bit useless. A bluetooth-controlled remote-control car. Charges from the phone, controlled over bluetooth from the phone itself.

Update: Looks like it’s finally available; $78 from Expansys. I ordered my bluetooth headset from them last year, and everything arrived as expected. Other then that, I have no experience with them.

    I’m interested in playing this car from a Bluetooth-enabled Notebook computer. I don’t know where to find the software to do it.

    i was just wondering how far from the phone the car can actually go? and how fast is it?

    From what I’ve seen, it’s supposed to be good for around 10m. I don’t know how fast the car goes.

    Well, it looks like it needs a Sony-Ericsson phone to charge from, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you can control it from a Nokia phone with Bluetooth. However, since you wouldn’t be able to charge it, it’d be kind of pointless.
