Great new features of OS 3.1 upgrade

Did the upgrade over the weekend, along with one reset.. all is great. Some things I've noticed that are great:

- Camera is definitely quicker and better.
- seems to be less loss of pixels when I text pictures. (huge pet peave)
- apps load much, much quicker, especially android apps

And by far the coolest thing I have noticed : in my car, with my phone paired via BT, all of my emails, text messages come through so I can either read them or have them read back to me, but that's not the new/ cool part. Today when I got back in my car, hadn�t driven all weekend, I noticed a new message from BlackBerry Assistant called "Today's View". The message was only in the car, not on the phone. When I hit play, Assistant proceeded to say good morning and welcome me to my (type) of car, let me know the date/time, how many unread messages I had and proceeded to inform me of my schedule of events on my calendar!
It was literally like having a live assistant give me a rundown of my day, very cool to say the least.

Assuming your car syncs your messages on its display, I would assume you would get the same features

Awesome! Which car does this work with?

In my case, bmw... I would think though any vehicle that syncs your messages would work as well.

This isn't new, but cool anyway, Assistant creates it's own phone number so I have full pass through when on Bluetooth

...and now everyone in the big boss office know what you are going to do every day ;-) I assume your car is even more secure than your phone ;-)

:-) funny you should mention that, there was just an article the other day about how BMW has made steps further secure our data. What's nice though is that this information is only in the car when my passport is in the car
