Information Week says the long-promised and much-hyped in-car WiFi system will be available next week at Chrysler dealerships (stop in -- they'll be very glad to see you). Expect to shell out big money for it, though: $500 for the router, $50 to install it, $35 to activate the service, $29 a month to use it and $5 a month for rust-proofing and clear coat. You'll have to own your Chrysler now that its stopped leasing cars, and you'll pay almost $2,700 to read Autopia behind the wheel of your new 300.
Explain to me again how this is better than $59/month EVDO service that works in the car and outside the car? Where the heck do they get off charging $500 for a router?
