Welcome to the future, citizen (pro tip: pass on the soylent green). Ford recently announced that it’s 2011 Fiesta will launch with SYNC AppLink. I’m just going to let you read it in their own words here –
Ford will first offer SYNC® AppLink, a downloadable software program, on the 2011 Fiesta, allowing owners to access and control Android™ and BlackBerry® smartphone apps with voice commands and vehicle controls
Voice control your apps via bluetooth. BOO-YAH.
Pandora, Stitcher and OpenBeak are the first SYNC-enabled apps, but Ford has already set up a developers site (SYNCmyride) so it looks like they mean business. Now who will be the first to develop a dialer app to fill that painful gap for lucky Ford drivers?
