I’m without an Apple Television but John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame has stumbled upon a new facet of the Remote app that no one else seems to have realized before. Apple doesn’t seem to be touting this little factoid either, but you can use your iPhone/iPod Touch instead of the janky on-screen non-QWERTY keyboard […]

I’m without an Apple TV but John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame has stumbled upon a new facet of the Remote app that no one else seems to have realized before. Apple doesn’t seem to be touting this little factoid either, but you can use your iPhone/iPod Touch instead of the janky on-screen non-QWERTY keyboard as your Apple Television keyboard. Wowzers. What you’re typing is reflected on-screen. That’s pretty neat.

Get ready for the return of the electric car. Philadelphia steel wholesaler Barry D. Bernsten has created BG Automotive Group with the purpose of bringing an affordable electric car to market. The first roll out will occur later this year in October and the new company hopes to hit sales marks of 4,000 vehicles.

More of an introduction to the concept and the company, the vehicles will be marketed as ‘neighborhood’ automobiles reaching a top speed of 25mph. The first generation of these next generation electric cars will be on sale for about $16,000. Batteries can be selected across the entire range of technologies: lead-sulfate, lead-silicon, nickel hydride, lithium ion.

But wait. That’s just for now.

Not content to remain - in essence - a golf-cart manufacturer, BG Automotive has plans to roll out highway-ready automobiles in 2009. And there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be able to do it, as fast electric cars are nothing new. The technology is there. In fact, by releasing the vehicle, BG will beat by one year the Mitsubishi i MiEV arrival to North American shores.
