It's been a busy week in the telematics (in-car communications) field, capped by a Microsoft-Toyota deal in which the car maker agreed to employ Windows CE for Automotive as the heart of its new in-car "G-Book" information network. Toyota says its G-Book offering, scheduled to debut in October, "will connect people, cars and society." And where Toyota goes, Honda is never far behind, as the company said it would offer a new voice-operated car navigation system on its Accord sedan starting this fall.
