\"\"One of the cooler software announcements to already come out of CES 2010 is from Chevy and OnStar regarding the upcoming 2011 Chevy Volt, their all electric vehicle.\u00a0 The new Android-based application gives Volt owners added control over their vehicles with options like monitoring charging status, unlocking doors, and more. \u00a0 There have been rumors for some time that these types of applications would be coming but now those rumors have been confirmed with their unveiling at CES 2010.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from Android, the app is being released for the Blackberry and iPhone platforms.\u00a0 With the app, an Android user will be able to monitor the car’s charging status, delay said status until electric rates lower, and even be able to unlock the doors, beep the horn and start the vehicle up.\u00a0 Users will also be able to access driving stats on their handsets as well.<\/p>\n

Notice that we mentioned that OnStar was part of this deal?\u00a0 Well, that would probably lead you to assume that you must be an OnStar member to use this app, and you would be correct.\u00a0 So there is certainly a thought process there if you want that membership.\u00a0 Most dealerships give new car buyers a trial membership which of course pushes over to a full membership after the trial expires.<\/p>\n

Still, pretty cool tech, I can see myself converting the vehicle to look like the batmobile and doing sweet things with my Android handset.\u00a0 How long until we can drive our cars through our Android powered phones?<\/p>\n
