==========================================

We’ve seen some interesting ways people have tried to meld iPhone with car, but this one might top them all. Meet Jon’s Mazda RX-8, controllable from anywhere in the world using an iPod touch over WiFi. As demonstrated on video, his custom web app can be used to lock and unlock the doors, start and stop the engine, and open the truck. A telemetry window provides data such as fuel level, battery voltage, RPM, speed, and temperatures. It’s even got a GPS so you can track the car’s wherabouts with Google Maps. All of this is accomplished with computer hidden in the trunk, hooked up to the on-board diagnostics, and equipped with a 3G modem to stay constantly connected to the interwebs. There’s no indication on whether he plans to take the mod further, but if so, we can only hope it involves some well-placed cameras and a tilt-controlled steering mechanism. We pity the foolish thief who tries to steal this “haunted” ride. Check out the video demonstration after the break.

I am speechless, who knew that we could run windows on our iphones…. Again I can’t think of anything to say except well done guys over at hackulo if you think of the possibilities… Age of empires, paint, and all of those other classics..

What is Winulous?
Winulous is the first ever iPhone-based virtualization system, and is now available in beta from Hackulous. We\’ve provided a very (very) stripped down and lightweight version of Windows 2000 that is capable of running on your iPhone (and iPod Touch). At the moment Winulous only ships with a few apps to run (such as Minesweeper and solitaire), but we will be adding support for more apps in the coming weeks. Our team of developers has truly reached an iPhone development landmark with this impressive app.

Who made Winulous?
This was a joint development with all of the developers of our site, including the creators of Appulous, Crackulous, Hackulous and Installous! This took many, many months to develop and countless hours have been put in Winulous in order to make it work. We\’d also like to thank the Wine dev team for their fantastic references for developers!

What are the requirements?
All current versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch are supported, you should be running the latest firmware available from Apple (2.2.1). While older versions should be able to run, there are no guarantees. If you want to stay up to date (and you should!) please use firmware 2.2.1!

What’s planned for the future?
Skynet will rise and take over the world. Future versions of Winulous should be able to run similarly stripped-down versions of Linux and even Mac OS X itself (and yes, their names will be changed accordingly wink.gif). There are no plans to support Windows Mobile Virtualization at this time, however. We may be convinced with handfuls truckloads of cash though.

How do I get Winulous?
As with all our Hackulous products, you can get them from our cydia repo!

One More Thing…
Thanks for everyone’s current support of Hackulous and Appulous! We have many things in plan for Appulous! For more information regarding that, please read about it here. Sorry about the crappy trailer, all I had was iMovie 09 with me on the moment.
I hate iMovie 09.
