Now we're beginning to see how big and influential the iPod has become. Apple will actually be working with top automobile manufacturers such as General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Mazda Motor Corp. to integrate the iPod into car audio systems. How cool is that?

I have a feeling the integrated car iPod docks will be similar to this. What's so nice about it then? Reports tell us
Ford said Thursday it will offer the iPod integration as a dealer-installed option called "TripTunes Advanced" at a suggested price of about $200, plus installation. An adapter that doubles as a battery-charging station would go in either the glove box or center storage console. Users would then be able to control the iPod through buttons on the steering wheel or the radio. Playlists, artists, and other song information will also be displayed on the cars' systems.Neat, huh? But $200 might take us a little more time to decide (leaning to a Yes or a No?)
