Apple Partners with Ford

conq writes "BusinessWeek reports on Apple's latest partnership with Ford. This new accessory will be available in all Ford, GM and Mazda 2007 models allowing users to control thei iPod through the car's stereo controls. From the article: 'Currently, most MP3 players connect to vehicles via tape-deck or FM radio adapters. The devices are relatively cheap, ranging from $20 to $90, but are often difficult to operate while driving and can distort sound quality. But the iPod jacks, situated in glove compartments, let drivers easily operate players with existing stereo controls and charge a device's battery without an additional adapter.'"

    Nothing better then grooving to the iPod while you're waiting by the side of the road for your tow.

    I find how everyone only supports Ipod very frustrating

    Ahhh... yes. Mac users' revenge. I speak for Mac users everywhere when I say, "Cry me a river."
