As a side note... In the US and probably other countries there is a standard for the interface to the car computer. From that interface you can get the vehicle speed and diagnostic information about how the engine is running. It might be interesting to have some kind of bluetooth car interface to obtain that information and display it for you while you are in your car. Anyone ever heard of anything like that?
You're speaking of OBD or CAN. There are some good interfaces out there, though the auto companies try to protect their information. It would be neat to build a plotter/scanner interface for measuring the car sensors on the Neo using either bluetooth or serial/usb.
