The Telematics Wire site is fast loading, relevant, and frequently updated. Above and beyond the news, supplementary resourceful content is also posted on a regular basis. Telematics usually references mobile computing, specifically vehicle computing and vehicle telemetry. This includes Fleet Management, Logistics, Location Based Services [LBS], Global Positioning Systems [GPS], Infotainment, etc. However, in the past couple of years, vehicle telematics applications such as GPS and Infotainment have spilled over into the Mobile Phone Industry, creating a whole new array of “Personal Telematics” devices and services. Personal telematics devices include New-Generation Mobile Phones, The Infamous Blackberry, iPods, etc.
