Is there nothing the iPhone cannot do? Guess all we need to do is wait for some boffins to come up with a intelligent algorithm that helps trace down extra-terrestrial life successfully using a network of iPhones, years after the SETI home computer network project has floped to yield a notable outcome. After all, whether the iPhone can already be used to control a Mazda RX-8, why not? Jonathan Oxer is the brains behind that project, where the iPhone will connect to a computer within the vehicle, which in turn is hooked up to the Web via a separate connection. that setup allows the user to perform tasks such as opening doors, starting the engine, monitoring relevant statistics and even see where the vehicle is located via Google Maps. A surefire way to impress that first period of yours.
