...sat in a couple of these iCabTV cabs myself since I don't
have a car here in Singapore and have to take them to commute
everyday.
was quite amused when I sat into one initially a couple month
ago... but, I got totally bored after 5 minutes. as I only see some
news clips and latest movie trailers with some stupid TVCs.
interestingly, I sat into one this morning and was playing with
it more, and found out there's horoscope/zodiac, nearby
shops/restaurants, ATMs, where to go & eat, stocks,
events, latest movie ratings and showtimes info, etc... even got
promos to get free taxi rides... hmm...big improvement....hope they
do keep the promos coming ;p
cabbie actually told me in the near future should add flight
info, lotto results...and services like movie/concert bookings,
bluetooth promo coupon downloads, etc.
screen is a little dim by default under sun, good that it allow
you to adjust the brightness and volume.
I have to say, overall Singapore taxi is more advanced then
Shanghai or other Asian cities I've been to where if there's a TV,
it is a tiny screen blasting boring advertisements at you which I
can't even turn off. :(
okay...better not be the reason for another fare hike.
