    well, it's mobile I guess. Wouldn't say it's portable outside of being in a car though, lol. Looks pretty sweet, we're seeing more and more computer technology make its way into cars.

    But officer, I didn't mean to cause a wreck.

    I was trying to phone my wife when "our song" came on the radio. Then my rear got cold so was trying to turn on the bun warmer and get directions to the closest Pizza Hut.

    Since Volvo is owned by Ford it's probably also running Ford's new Sync technology. Unfortunately this means your very safe Volvo runs Windows.
