Toyota: Cellphones

Toyota joins the game of carmaker-branded mobile phones with their "TiMo" models wanting to close the gap to the telecommunication services offered by Japan's No. 2 telecom carrier which Toyota owns a large share of.

The company's ultimate goal is to close the gap between its cars and telecom networks, so the new phone will be compatible with Toyota navigation systems via Bluetooth. The pair of companies has also developed some type of battery charger that Reuters reports will attach to the armrest of a car and offer music and games downloads.
