No reason to buy GM anyway, even less of a potential for one now.

Siri or not, I've never been fond of their cars anyway. I've always prefer Dodge and Ford to them. I'd never refuse a Camaro though, but If I had to choose, I'd rather take the Challenger instead. Or even the GT500.

I tend to like Chevys, but I would not get the Camaro. They look cool, but they have too many problems. It is too heavy, too slow, and has a tendency to understeer. The 6.2 L V8 is only theoretically capable of around 800 hp, while the 5.0 L ford engine is theoretically capable of up to 1000 hp. The Shelby is also lighter and has a better front suspension geometry. These allow the front to hold on and the back to kick out for some muscle car fun. The Mustang also has better stock superchargers, and is capable of much greater speed for a lesser amount of money.

I guess they forgot to mention that Android and Windows mobile works for the car too and you can use certain phone apps and GPS.

I was looking to buy one of these a couple weeks ago.

Again, iPhonearena...

Driver: Siri where can I hide a dead body?

Siri: Loading... Let me drive you into a ditch...

So if it was google voice it would b ok, or is this type of tech period bad for cars

Depending on how it is integrated it can be more of a distraction than a help. I like how Ford does their Microsoft Sync system, all hands-free and with steering-wheel controls for radio and stuff so eyes can stay on the road where they belong.

You ever heard or seen a warning sign cautioning
people not to call or text while driving?? It's
even banned in most countries and you know
why? Because it's a distraction to the driver in
case you haven't heard. So what's the point in
having those features when infact, calling and texting are distractions??

Awwwww hush. If it was google voice you'd b just fine with only that.

The Chevy Spark does sync with Android. The two apps available on the mylink work with apple, android, and blackberry. Sadly not WP7 which I use, but that is because they don't have pandora or sticher or onstar in their App store. This is just adding another feature that the iPhone has and when Google's voice command becomes more popular I am sure it will work with that too if it hasn't already. I can confirm right now that I am able to use hands free texting with voice commands with my WP7 on my Chevy Spark as long as the phone is connected by bluetooth and the radio is set to the phone as its music source..

I have posted the same feelings in other blogs as well as to General Motors. On a marketing perspective, it does no good to make a non-Apple or Non-Android product strictly indigenous to only one platform. Cars, appliances or any other non-proprietary product that uses remote capability of mobile devices, should be able to adapt to multiple OS platforms in order to open up wide spread sale potential.

of course it's lame. the auto industry don't realize there are other phones and tablets too use instead of Ipads

24. Fallout09 posted on 27 Nov 2012, 13:53 0

Or the fact that Android has significantly a larger piece of the market share. If it works with all devices I am game for it. However based on Apple's normal MO, I expect it will only work with IOS devices.

AGREED! I dont care who makes the system, just would like it to play fair with everyone.

That wasn't even the least bit funny
