We’re living in the post-smartphone world, where restaurant reviews and silly time-wasting games are never more than a fingerprint away, and now it’s hard to see us as anything but tippy-toeing into the smartcar revolution.

Those lovely people over at Nokia have furnished us with a few images of what their dashboard integration will look like, as well as the names of a few more partners for the Terminal Mode initiative. Intended to smarten up your car’s hardware with the phone’s capabilities — whether that be to play back music, use Ovi Maps, browse the web, or whatver else — this was announced in partnership with Alpine yesterday , but today we’re hearing that Fiat , Harman Becker and Valmet Automotive are also getting in on the fun.
