Wi-Fi wireless Internet connectivity has become nearly ubiquitous. Whether you're at home, in a coffee shop or even on some commercial airliners, you can get online with a Wi-Fi-equipped laptop, smart phone or portable game machine.
Now, Wi-Fi is making its way into your car.
A small California company, Autonet Mobile, has teamed up with Chrysler and others to sell a service that floods any brand or model of car or truck with Wi-Fi Internet connectivity that can be used by multiple passengers and devices simultaneously.
It's a dealer-installed option on Chrysler vehicles, but Chrysler dealers, and some independent auto electronic shops, will install it on any brand of car for a fee.
Does this make Chrysler more appealing to GM?

It is amazing how much the internet is becoming such an essential thing in people's everyday lives. I recently found a website called www.WifiRents.com that offers mobile broadband cards for rent by the week or the month without a 2 year contract. This service can be a great asset for businesses who just need the internet for a tradeshow or business conference and don't want to be stuck with a bill for the duration of a 2 year contract. It would also be great for those who plan on going on vacation but need to be able to check their email or check in with the office while on the go. The need for the internet has grown quite large in recent years and with companies like this anyone will be able to access the net whenever and wherever they need it. I would recommend others to check out www.WifiRents.com if they are interested in wireless interenet.
