The device will reportedly allow users to control their iPod or iPod mini through a auxiliary headset unit or cruise-control-like controls mounted on the steering wheel. The device will also allow users to view playlists or song tracks, and charge their iPod.

BMW + Apple = Good, Innovative Stuff

sweet, more electronic bullshit to increase MSRP and distract new bmw purchasers from the fact they're driving a computer on wheels and not a sport sedan :roll:

That's not the point, and it's the same with most car companies, not just BMW's.

Hmm, thought that this had already been announced. All of the 1 series's will be set up with this.

Great, here is what they will do.....

Just like the BMW Cel Phones....

$600 for a 10gig old style iPod, that is made to BMW specs and will only work in a BMW.

yea, I'm sure it will be better then that, but you never know! It would be so cool to have a head unit that can talk to the iPod!

come again? you can upgrade the iPod...you just have to find the hard drive. It's really not hard to do.

apple : "we love gays" wasnt that their trade mark. nothing against homosexuals, but apple only markets to them, and to metrosexuals. i ahte the fact that everyone in hollywood swears by this "home" video shit, as if it was a real edit studio with a real gyroscope. AHHHHHHHH, its all such crap. and on top of that, you can do ALLLL the same shit on a PC with exactly the same results. but all the flamers use apple, which puts the files in apple format ( read: not compatible with the rest of the universe) for no god damn reason.

damn, im done. and fuck apple, once again for good messure.

The programs may be the same but they act differently, and some have different tools.

Every file I make on my mac, my PC can open and edit.

Wow, someone obviously either doesn't have a clue how a Mac works, and probably hasn't used one since they went to OS X. The only files that are for Mac only are system files. Application files are usable between both platforms. I know very few people that have Macs, and those people used to be PC users and swear they'll never go back (hell, I used to be all a PC user...still am at work). My experience is that almost everyone that hates Macs are those who haven't had the opportunity to use one for more than 2 minutes or are afraid of them.
