James May shows how to control a car with your phone!
If you were watching the rather excellent TopGear last night then you probably saw James May showing how a Renault concept car could be controlled with a Samsung i600 (See video above).
Similarly, the GroundSurf board is also controlled by a mobile phone and uses a front wheel motor to push you along the road.
The GroundSurf is now available to buy, production has just started and you better start saving - they cost €1900 (around £1507). Weighing in at 9Kg it has a top speed of 25 kph, with your Windows Mobile acting as an optional control system. You use the GroundSurf Mobile Remote interface to speed up or slow down by moving your thumb over the screen.
For more info on the GroundSurf, be sure to check out their official website.
Do you use your Windows Mobile device as a remote for something really cool? Drop us a line and tell us all about it!
