SMART: Rear-View Mirror Equipped With GPS!!!!!!!

Azentek apparently managed to get a few of its SmartMirror
rearview mirror replacements out the door back in August, but that
brief spat of availability promptly gave way to back orders and waiting
lists, and no doubt a few disappointed customers. According to the
company, however, it's now not only ramping up production of the
GPS-packing mirrors, but promising that they'll be available at "major
retailers" by the end of the year as well.

In case you missed it the first time around, the $800 device crams
a 4-inch GPS unit up alongside an apparently standard-sized rearview
mirror, and it surprisingly doesn't skimp on too many features, with it
boasting handsfree Bluetooth calling, a built-in speaker,
text-to-speech functionality, and an SD card slot for expansion (a 2GB
card is included). For some true redundancy, you can also use the
mirror as a monitor for a rearview camera.
