I know it's pie-in-the-sky, but I was sat in my friend's car today on the way to work and he received a call on his mobile.

His £75 budget Wharfedale stereo paused the CD, displayed the caller ID and played his Nokia ringing through the speaker system. A quick tap on a button on the fascia answered the call and the remote mic let him carry on a reasonably normal conversation.

All the time I was sat there thinking "Damn, I wish my Empeg could do that!"
