AppleTV: Now in your car

AppleTV in your car
Well, integrating Macs to your car is no real news to you and us.
But nobody integrated the new AppleTV to a car yet, although Autoblog raised demand for it.

Listen up automakers, 'cause this is good advice. Give Steve Jobs a ring, offer him any amount of money to license the AppleTV for use in automotive applications. Don't worry about getting exclusive rights, because Jobs won't give them to you. You just want to be the first to offer the technology of the AppleTV in the cars you sell. The hackers will beat you to it, but their success will serve to prime the public on how much better this technology is than anything being offered.

The real reason why the AppleTV would be a killer auto application is because it syncs with iTunes, where so many people keep their music, video and podcast collections. Basically, the first automaker that can say its cars will seamlessly sync with iTunes on their home desktop... well, that's a tough trick to beat.

They are so right...
