Microsoft acquires Patent for Music Player Dock in Car Stereo
Well, there is a news of Microsoft getting a recent patent granted for a car stereo, which also is also encompassed with a docking station, and after that it seems that you are able to dock a large number of handheld PCs into it. The patent awarded this week by the US Patent and Trademark Office is for a car-stereo that comprises a docking station for an off-the-shelf handheld PC.
It has been heard that the Microsoft brand placed close to lots of products but this one really surprises me, I have not ever heard Microsoft making an attempt to its hand at an in-car stereo earlier, Have You?
We would guesstimate that the main DAP’s will comprise their own edge to show ID3 tags, however we would not be certain regarding other brands. An additional cool trait is the addition of a memory system, which is said to keep in mind the whole lot but for any tribulations while the DAP or PMP is re-docked by you.
Furthermore it is also mentioned by them that “another interface form” would allow you to opt for other devices like an Internet, printer or GPS over a USB connection. All seems to be too good, however at present this is only info from a Microsoft patent.
