BlueTraks intros Bluetooth / iPod-friendly BT-211 handsfree car kit
While there's certainly no shortage of handsfree liaisons made for your whip, we're not going to complain with a bit more competition, and BlueTraks is trying to make a name for itself by hitting us up with the nicely-spec'd BT-211 series. The 5.45- x 2.9- x 2-inch design most definitely avoids any hints of a curve, but the 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, miniSD card slot, and iPod connectivity help to alleviate the questionable styling. Aside from touting Bluetooth, voice recognition, and a front-mounted USB 2.0 port, this nifty conglomerate also boasts a few inputs / outputs (pictured after the jump) not typically found on a run-of-the-mill handsfree kit. On the unit's rear you'll find ports for your iPod (along with a tailored control interface), any other DAP, a hardwired hookup to your factory amplifiers / speakers, audio in, and in a forthcoming rendition, satellite radio and even a navigation interface for those thinking about installing this in their dash. Sadly, we've no hard dates regarding availability, nor any indication of a price range, but we definitely dig where this handsfree car kit is going.[Via NaviGadget]

Not too shabby!
The rectangular shape may make it stand out in a modern vehicle though unless you integrate it into the dashboard.

I second the in-dash notion. Hopefully it's cheap, since the casing (gaps around the interfaces, screws hanging out of the back?) make it looks chintzy.
At that point, you're better off just going for a touchscreen CarPC with BT support.
