Re: (OT) Steve Jobs and VW Chairman Talk iCar

["BX9024" <nil@nil.com>]

A Volkswagen spokesperson told German magazine Capital that an iCar may be 
on the way. Steve Jobs and VW Chairman Martin Winterkorn got together in 
California a few days ago to "plan an intensive co-operation with the 
building of vehicles." It might even be called an iCar. This is against a 
background of chatter we heard floating around last month, but we're not 
thinking Apple's going to get into the car business.

This will probably be another exercise in incorporation, where iPod 
functionality is integrated into the car as it was on BMW 7 series. We're 
hoping it's considerably more substantial than the iPod integration into the 
Honda Civic Hybrid, which we've tested here and had a hard time getting 
enthusiastic about.

But if rumors from last month are true, we might see additional niceties on 
board, such as Wi-Fi and maybe even a Mac mini, totally driving drivers to 
distraction. Just don't check your email at 80mph, please. [Capital, via
