Stitcher (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Stitcher/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) just announced a new car mode for the iPhone version of its radio and podcasting app, bringing a simplified interface that works in both portrait and landscape positions. Accessible by tapping the Stitcher logo at the top of the screen, car mode offers a pared-down version of the app's standard UI, with bigger buttons and only the essential audio controls. It's nowhere near as flashy as Stitcher's BMW integration (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/12/bmw-launches-stitcher-integration-at-sxsw-hands-on-video/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), mind you, but the point is to keep your eyes on the road and off your iPhone's screen. The app gets a few other updates this time around: a front page with top headlines, one-tap access to shows and podcasts you're searching for and improved playback when you're picking up in the middle of a show. Head to the source link below to give the app a spin, and drive safely!
