Nissan should partner with Google to offer a Nissan LEAF gadget for iGoogle. If you're not familiar, iGoogle is a customizable start page, which lets you add applications (called gadgets) and change background etc. With iGoogle, I could use my notebook (or any web connected PC) to access my Nissan LEAF. Certainly such an iGoogle gadget could support the simple operations and metrics (start HVAC, charging status, etc.) I've read about for the smartphone app. It could also be an easy way to sync the music you have on your notebook to your LEAF.
