MacWorld 2005 - New Apple i-Pod Audio Systems Hit the Road w/Alfa Romeo

Apple is trying to make using an i-Pod in the car a reality for today's drivers -- wedding gate crashers and all. News from San Francisco this morning (January 12, 2005) is that Apple and Italian car company Alfa Romeo have entered into a joint agreement. According to news reports, Apple is promising Alfa Romeo owners "...the excitement of driving an Alfa Romeo with the ability to match their driving pleasure to more than 10,000 songs stored in an i-Pod and available at the touch of a button."

The first Alfa Romeos to offer the new Apple i-Pod audio systems will be launched this year with existing models gaining the option of Apple i-Pod integration as and when revised models are launched.
