Alpine has a new in-car digital media receiver in its offering. It’s the iXA-W404 2-DIN and it lacks CD/DVD mechanism. The “Made for iPod” and “Works with iPhone” device gets all the data from either an iPod or iPhone through a dedicated USB input. In addition, it also supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to make and take handsfree phone calls and drive more safely as a result.
Rest of the specs include a 4.3-inch QVGA touchscreen, simple iPod-like user interface, and double-encoder knob. In a nutshell, it’s a in-car music system for true Apple fans. Although it’s pricey, the Alpine iXA-W404 2-DIN will extend the iPhone/iPod experience on the road. 
More information is available from Alpine’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
