Ford and Microsoft Roll Out SYNC

“Say, “Play Artist Black Eyed Peas,” and Ford Sync will cue up the Peas in your iPod, Zune or even USB drive. “Dial Mom,” and Ford Sync will use your bluetooth enabled phone to ring your mother. This is the magic of Ford Sync’s revolutionary new technology, developed in partnership with Microsoft.”
Doing a self-mod on your car is one thing. But Microsoft and Ford have really left nothing out on this system. Voice recognition and text to speech? If the future hasn’t arrived then I don’t know what has. The only thing that’s disappointing about the Ford Sync is that it’s not in the Mustang yet!
TrendHunter has done a full review on this cool technology. I know that my next car needs to have something like this in it for sure!
