Mac Application Launcher for Your Car

Ever wished you could have a Mac in your car? We did, so we got to work and installed a Mac in the car. We soon found out that the beautiful interface of Mac OS X was not the ideal solution for the car environment. Dragging a mouse about was simply too time consuming and extremely dangerous if done while driving. “Wouldn’t it be great if we had an interface to get things working instead of having to double click all over the place?” we asked ourselves. Well, we got to work again and i3 was born. The intelligent integrated interface. Basically it’s an application launcher, but it’s so much more than that when you start to use it. Read More…


Ever wished you could have a Mac in your car? We did, so we got to work and installed a Mac in the car.

You assign applications to buttons and so opening up stuff becomes a single click operation (touch if you’ve got a touch screen). That’s basically it! Simple and useful. It’s now 90% customizable so you can add your own skin designs and add your own button placement. Download the application and test it out… it’s fully functional except for a few red letters across the screen. The direction i3 goes is truly dependent on your reactions and comments.
Hopefully, one day, all cars will have macs built in, until then you have i3. Welcome to the future.
