Land Rover taking on harsh mobile terrain next year


Hummer chose Modeabs to help dilute its brand, but Land Rover's looking to inject a little more street cred into its unnecessary foray into the mobile world by hooking up with Sonim, purveyors of the badass XP series. Hoping to "compliment the lifestyle of the outdoor adventurer," Sonim will offer the Land Rover S1 and S2 G4 models by the middle of 2009, with a third model following on later in the year. All told, the unlikely twosome hope to market the phone to carriers and directly to consumers in some 40 countries around the globe. The models feature Bluetooth, water resistance, and can be dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto concrete -- which, let's be honest, is more abuse than that $70,000 Range Rover of yours is ever going to see, unless you count potholes in Hamptons tarmac.

iPhone integral part of Land Rover LRX concept


Well, would you take a peek at this? Not even a month after we pored over Volkswagen photos that certainly had a hint of Apple about them, images of the Land Rover LRX are surfacing and giving us the same kind of vibe. In a press release issued by the automaker, it notes that the concept vehicle will boast a couple of touchscreens, one of which is used to "control the LRX's iPhone facility." Additionally, you can catch an iPod docking station and a set of removable speakers on the tailgate, though we can't say that's the most convenient location we've ever heard of for such a device. Nevertheless, we should find out a whole lot more when it hits the Detroit Auto Show floor next month, and oh yeah, we hear Jobs has a wee gig of his own to handle around the same time.
