As I was driving up the Maine Turnpike the other day, I saw a car weaving back and forth, get back on track, then start weaving again. It was one of those situations that you just want to get past and far away from the car. As I passed the vehicle, I noticed that the driver was using a handheld with a distinctive blue color. He was checking and replying to his emails….DUMB!

There is a solution that one can consider if you want to keep your eyes trained on the road and it is called iLane.

iLane provides you with a hands-free and eyes-free, voice-interactive solution for managing email messages and attachments, phone calls, SMS messages and calendar appointments while in transit. iLane integrates seamlessly with your car’s audio system. So as new messages arrive on your handheld device, iLane notifies you immediately, then reads a summary aloud. Using voice commands you can then listen to the entire message; compose a reply; forward an attachment, and more.

iLane is unique in that it doesn’t require access to a remote server to convert email messages into voice files. All data is hosted locally and communicated directly between iLane and your handheld device. Likewise, data is encrypted to ensure your privacy. You no longer need to "dial in" to retrieve your messages from a server; iLane reads them to you immediately and automatically.

With iLane, you don’t have to take your eyes off the road, or your hands off the steering wheel to check your handheld device for new messages. You stay connected to critical information without sacrificing your on-road safety.
