The devices when launched will result in consumers being able to buy iPod video devices for cars, 7" navigation screens, a new generation of visual DAB radio and mobile phones with video screens without any safety legislation to control the use of the devices or where the devices can be placed in a motor vehicle.
Commercial Radio Australia are known to be keen to see the visual DAB radios launch as the visual and text stream advertising is an additional revenue stream for commercial radio stations. It also allows them to compete with TV stations and organisations like Google who are set to stream visual content to cars over phone and other devices including navigation systems.
