Any car (OBDII) software planned?

Well, as a car modding fan, I really wonder if anyone is planning a car monitoring/tuning software for the P800. We have it for Palms, why not have it for the P800?

PS: For anyone interested; there are car ECU monitoring softwares running on Palms which use a connection to your car through the OBDII port (yeah - you need a special cable - and that is the port they hook your car up at the service) and monitor/log all engine data (air/ fuel ratio, errors etc.) while the car is running. And you use that data to tune your car furthermore in the garage...

That would be the ultimate use of the P800 (imagine that the guy uses a P800 for controlling his engine management system instead of a notebook in the next Fast & Furious -3 maybe-, wouldn't that be great?)
