New Audi Tablet Puts In-Car Entertainment In The Palm Of Your Hand

New Audi Tablet Puts In-Car Entertainment In The Palm Of Your Hand

Audi has applied its flair for technological innovation to the development of a new portable tablet that could open up a wealth of new possibilities for networking between the car, the driver and the internet.  Shown in prototype form at this month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, USA, the Audi Smart Display slickly combines the latest technology from the consumer electronics world with the robustness and reliability of a component designed specifically for automotive use. With a 10.2 inch full-HD display encased in brushed aluminium, the portable tablet can facilitate access to, and operation of, the car's infotainment system, but its capabilities also extend far beyond this.  Through a secure and stable WLAN interface, and via the Android operating system, the Smart Display can connect with the car and enrich it with the state-of-the-art computing and graphics power of its Nvidia Tegra 40 processor.  Through the Smart Display, passengers have access to more than 950,00 apps plus movies, music, audio books and eBooks through Google Play.

The Smart Display uses the Audi sound system to play back sound in perfect quality. External headphones can also be connected via Bluetooth or a standard headphone jack. The Smart Display also supports NFC (near field communication) technology, making it particularly easy to connect to Bluetooth headphones and mobile devices in general. Thanks to its integrated camera the Smart Display can also be used for Skype video calls.

The Audi Smart Display was systematically developed for use in cars – it can easily withstand extremes of temperature and its robust hardware makes it crash-proof – but it also means that for the first time the innovative technology that is synonymous with the Vorsprung durch Technik brand can now touch many other areas of life.
