I've been pondering similar stuff. What intrigues me is how the connectivity of phones and music players and unlimited data plans destroys radio in my car as an acceptable medium. Looking too at the Microsoft Sync here in the US that Ford are introducing and the ability to talk to my phone and any other bluetooth device in the car and tell it to do stuff, I can imagine my car being quite a feature rich mobile media environment. For me the really interesting stuff will be talk and news ... I listen now to the Economist (I'm an ex-pat Brit) in the car and being able to easily skip a story makes my phone/mp3 player into an on-demand news source. Very interesting.
