USA Today is reporting on a new trend in the $30 billion automotive accessories market. The latest innovative software tools turn your Game Boy or Palm Pilot into an automotive diagnostic tool. USA Today reports that the Australian company TXS offers a device called the TurboXS DTEC (data transfer engine console), that "uses the Game Boy platform to assess and display performance attributes such as an engine's air-fuel ratio." Another product from a company called Injectoclean turns a Palm Pilot into a mechanic's diagnostic tool.
