Aha Mobile is developing an iPhone application that is making a car-friendly application.  Aha Mobile was pleased to announce earlier this week that they have raised $3 million in Series A funding from Venrock Capital.

Aha’s is working on an application that will provide features on traffic and construction notifications, a bathroom finder, and ways to find nearby coffee shops.  There will be many other features that I have not discussed here, but those are just a few examples.  The application is still in development too.  There will also be voice recognition technology to identify search queries.

Aha Mobile will be a free application and is expected to launch sometime this summer.  The CEO of Aha is Robert Acker.
