My only concern would be an ultra-reliable mechanism, as it would suck if an electronic error tinted the windows while driving!
Just remember, LCD becomes dark when power is APPLIED (however little power it takes, it's still power), and clear in the absence of power. The electricity causes the crystals to align (blocking light), and when power goes away the crystals float around in any orientation, allowing light to stream through. I'm not sure I'd want my car to use up MORE power when it's turned off.

Maybe if it was connected to its own battery with a solar panel recharger.

They mention this, which is quite bold and quite welcome:

A great step in the right direction! This means no more hacking to take control of your device.

Xperia's stock just went up a few points in the Capt'n's market: the Super stock exchange (SEX).
OK.. yes. I might just have to get one when I replace my Droid. Sony would have managed to win me back after several years of hating them. Nice.

Can't help, here... I don't use GSM and don't really travel around outside the US. :P
