There are, as usual, some catches. I for one was disappointed to hear that this A2DP ability won't work with first-gen iPhones like mine -- you'll need to have a 3G to do something like this. And of course, this will require the iPhone OS 3.0, which isn't technically out yet (though devs in Apple's development program are playing with it right now, which is why you can see it in the video above). And finally, you'll need a car with the Bluetooth capability, which (though I haven't owned or shopped for a car for a few years, so maybe things have changed a bit) is still kind of hard to find.
But hey, even if you're not there yet, here's a look at the future. Where we're going, you won't need wires to get your iPod playing music on the car stereo.

A Miraculous Product to Turn SD in HD
ArcSoft Inc announced to have developed an unique process to upscale SD source into an almost HD format. The upscaling is a procedure aiming to increase the resolution of an image or a video.
their application used algorithm to expand missing video/image contents of the SD source to upscale it. The price of the application alone is 89.99 USD, and 119.99 USD when it is bundled with a NVidia card able to speed up the process. This is not a real-time treatment, and if you want to upscale a video saved on a DVD, you will have to copy the DVD contain on your HD to be able to treat it.
Of course, the marketing points are pretending miraculous result, however nobody nor any system is able to create the missing information in the SD source, so it is only extrapolation, and you will never turn a DVD in to Blu-ray, except if it is only based on simple geometrical figures...
