We admittedly fell in love with Delphi's new in-car navigation and mobile solutions at CES. Get all the details here.

 One of the coolest products we saw at CES, Delphi's Dual-View navigation has a simple premise: let the driver use the navigation system while passengers watch videos, all while saving money and space on the dash by using only one screen. The system superimposes a "parallax barrier" on an ordinary LCD screen to simultaneously display different information depending on the viewing angle. We're not sure exactly how it works, but we do know that it looks great and is one of the more practical innovations at this year's show. Release: July 2008. Price: $1500.
Pros: Multiple sources displayed on one screen at different viewing angles

 Finding internet access on the road can be one of the more troubling aspects of travel, especially for business, and since many people use their cars as offices, the most logical place for internet access is the car. Up until now, the car's movement (usually at high speeds) caused connection issues that made high-speed internet access problematic, a problem solved by Delphi's Autonet Mobile, which turns the user's car into an internet hotspot. Providing connection via a CDMA data connection, the software manages TCP sessions in-motion, up to 120 mph. The device also includes a networked and shareable 32GB hard drive for storing files and playing media. Propriety applications provide maps, media playback and even access to home DVR boxes. The device, which has been available for about a year in AVIS rental cars, will soon find its way into consumer cars in 2008. Release: July 2008. Price: $1500.
Pros: Hi-speed internet at high speeds, 32GB hard drive
