Nokia And Clarion Team Up Over Terminal Mode

Nokia and Clarion have announced that they will be collaborating on Terminal Mode, the technology that is aiming to enable a new way for mobile devices and car infotainment systems to seamlessly work together. This announcement follows deals that Nokia already has with other companies such as Alpine and Harman. Thanks to the new partnership, Clarion is looking to develop the smartphone interface that Nokia and Consumer Electronics for Automotive (CE4A) are proposing as industry standard, along with developing an application service business for in-car devices using the Ovi Store application service by Nokia. The downside is that while Nokia already has a few such partnerships going on, we have yet to see any actual product related to this, though we’re hoping that Nokia won’t be keeping all the fun to itself for too long.
