| Our eyes eventually glaze over at all of the car industry’s “limited editions,” “value editions,” and “sport editions.” But Chrysler has just announced a “Web edition.” OK, now we’re awake. It’s not so much a car but an option package comprising a bunch of tech toys all tied to the Net by an Autonet Mobile router branded as Chrysler uConnect Web. The gear includes a Dell Mini 9 Netbook, an 8GB iPod Touch, a Sony PSP, and a digital camera with an Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD card. All in, $1,999 including a year of service. It gets unveiled tomorrow at the S.F. Auto Show in a specially badged Town & Country and will be available as a dealer-installed rig from Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge dealers (as long as they’re around!).Autonet CEO Sterling Pratz says, “We’re emphasizing this as the next entertainment platform in cars” more than a communication and productivity platform, though you can do whatever you want with the system.
