GM plans to introduce a remote-control key fob with two-way communications next April that will allow drivers to not to lock/unlock the car doors and remote start, but also determine the pressure in each tire, check the odometer reading, check the fuel level, change the radio station settings and see if they remembered to lock the car doors, as well at the, now standard, functions of customizing interior settings.
A few years ago the world of convergence was focused on the PC. Today, if I were given only the product specs for an iPod, ROKR, this remote, and my GPS unit, I'd have a hard time telling them apart.
**UPDATE**
Here's another convergence device (this time from Fujitsu) that combines elements of a smart-phone with a PC and gaming console.
