Only if you could call the ipod a clone of all previous mp3 players. Technology != Customer Experience.

Wow, I wouldn't necessarily call it a "clone". That skeuomorphism would make Scott Forstall cry. And what's with using Copperplate for logo? It makes the app look like something a child designed in Microsoft Word.

This thing doesn't really offer me more than my Honda Insight already does built-in.

I'm going to get a ScanGuageII soon: http://www.scangauge.com/products/scangaugeii/

Thanks for those links. I'm tempted to buy one to experiment. Torque says it allows you to upload data to your own website too, which means you could use it with Tasker to do probably much more than the Automatic can do.

I'm a user of Torque - I think I'm with you on this one, not many people of aware of apps and devices that can communicate with their cars, which is why the niche for a device like Automatic exists, I guess.

To be fair, I bought a $10 EML327 and it didn't work in my car.
