09' NAV internet?

I see that it has the weather doppler on the nav. If you can get the doppler I wonder how long it will be before someone finds a way to get the internet on it? I can see that being available on systems in the future.

It uses MSN direct. If you would like to see it in person check out the new Pioneer F-series of radios in bestbuy or circuitcity.

Already a reality.

2009 f series will offer an optional mobile command center accessible from the trucks dd touchscreen unit thru ford work solutions.
built in usb
bluetooth connectivity
high speed internet via sprint broadband service
wireless printer accessible

With some nifty software such as tool link
Used in conjunction with dewalt tools, each tool has a built in radio tag and
you can see on the trucks screen which tools are present and which are missing. (I could surely use that, im always forgetting one saw or another)
Crew chief software
an entire fleet can be viewed from the boss dash, transmitting data thru the web using gps he can view each trucks location and even on board vehicle diagnostics.

Really cool stuff if your in the construction business like i am or any on-site business.
Info taken from the latest edition of my ford mag which i got in the mail yesterday.

look it up on myfordmag.com
