Does GM have to copy everything of Fords? "

Wow this guy must be living under a rock or somthing? When companies see a trend starting they jump on it. Example, Apple came out (not saying they were the first) with the iPhone touch screen and "BAM!" every carrier now has touch screen phones. Example 2, GM came out with the Camaro and "BAM!" Ford comes back with a better engine too and some upgrades. Companies don't "copy" each other they just see a trend and they adjust to the customers' needs and wants. Anywho, I think that GM parterning with Google would be a great idea and maybe even better than Ford's Sync.

General Motors is negotiating with Internet search behemoth and new smartphone marketer Google to develop in-car telematics to compete with Ford and Microsoft’s Sync/MyFord systems, sources say. One says Google would sell its Android operating system for in-car use. The operating system supports Google’s Android smartphone, the new competitor to Apple’s iPhone.

I wonder if the PDIM in the Camaro could run Android

I hope not. Google would start keeping track of my every movement and start placing ads in my car based on where I was. No thanks.

This would be fantastic! Google is a very progressive company and most of their applications are open source. What is our cars had access to the Droid marketplace?

If there's no limit to what Camaro gets, there's no limit to what Camaro does...

My iphone does this all already :(

I don't want to swap it for a Droid....waaaaa........LOL....I figure I can finally make a useless complaint in the lines of "The thing I don't like about this car is that apple is not combined with the camaro" LOL

In any case, if they come up with something with google its gonna blow Ford's stupid SYNC Gidget out of the water.
