NASA has recently announced that it has developed a prototype of a device that includes a chemical-sensory readying system. This is a low cost piece of equipment, with low power consumption and compatible with the iPhone and other smartphones.

The device is as small as a stamp and it’s able to collect, process and transmit data read by the sensor. It is able to detect substances like ammonia, chlorine gas, methane and others. 16 nanosensors are connected to a probe chip and they’ll be able to send info to a computer via WiFi, in order to interpret the data.

This project is all about security, since an iPhone with such a sensor on board and a GPS will be able to detect a gas leak. Also, the gas will be recognized and the info will be sent to emergency centers.

With the Motorola Droid running Android 2.0 you’ll have access to none other than Google Maps Navigation, but as you saw yesterday, it’s kind of hard to use if you don’t have a car mounting solution in place. Fortunately Verizon Wireless and Motorola are selling a Car Mount, which they officially call a Phone Holder, and are selling it for $29.99:

They’re also selling a multimedia station which turns your phone into an alarm clock and weather display for a bedside sort of experience. Both of these accessories use magnets to determine when/if the phone is docked and your Motorola Droid will automatically enter either “Car Mode” or “Multimedia Mode” when it is connected. There is a LOT of money in accessory sales and VZW/MOTO should do pretty well with these.

There is no doubt I’ll be buying the Motorola Droid Car Mount / Phone Holder but is anybody planning on buying the Multimedia Station? It would be neat to have but it all adds up and dishing out an extra $30 when I’ve already got an alarm clcok sitting there? I think I’ll pass on that one…

Here is what Moto has to say about each…
