Top 20Developer’s description: The Mercedes-Benz mbrace mobile application enables Mercedes-Benz drivers to interact remotely with their vehicle using an iPhone or BlackBerry. The first release of the app uses cellular and GPS technology to link to Mercedes-Benz, its mbrace telematics digital network, and the owner’s vehicle to perform several functions, including locking and unlocking the vehicle, locating the vehicle on a map, and contacting Roadside Assistance.

Pros: The app can help you find your Benz on a map when you can’t find it in a crowded parking lot; access to roadside assistance.

Cons: The app is free but a Mercedes-Benz is not; door lock service available only on select models.

Cost: Free (to Mercedes-Benz owners with an active paid subscription to Mercedes-Benz mbrace telematics services)

About

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

spacer

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.

By the end of this year more than 7 billion apps will have been downloaded. Only you know which ones are the keepers.
