iLANE	WIRELESS BACK-UP CAM

Beginning this spring, multi-taskers will no longer have to risk safety on the road when it comes to catching up on e-mails. iLane, the new hands-free, eyes-free vehicle integration system notifies drivers immidiately of a new e-mail on a handheld device, then reads a summary of it aloud. No remote, no wires, no problem. A bit pricey, but worth the steep fee for those who keep close contact. ($700) Find it here.	Last year over 200 children died in non-traffic, non-crash vehicle accidents. The majority of those deaths occured when a driver unknowingly backed over a child. Keep yourself and your family safe with a rear view back-up camera like this one by VR3. Complete with wide-angle camera and a monitor that attaches to visor or dash, it ensures optimum safety and is simple to use. ($140) Find it here.
