Griffin CarTrip OBD II Hardware Interface You might not always know what is going on under the hood of your car, but thanks to the wonders of electronics, you should be able to find out fairly easily, if you have the Griffin CarTrip OBD-II Hardware Interface. This device hooks up to your car’s OBD-II port and communicates with your iOS 4.0 (or higher) device, giving you information related to car mileage or even a real-time efficiency readout, thanks to the CleanDrive app. It’ll set you back $89.99, but that might be cheaper than calling a mechanic to save you when you’re stranded by the side of the road due to your car breaking down.

iOS: was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
