Volkswagen to enhance iPod co ectivity

Let's face it,people want computing power in their cars. We've seen people cram their Mac minis into their vehicles, and manymanufacturers now offer factory-i talled iPodco ectivity as an option. Volkswagen must have been paying attention to both trends, as their new prototypeinterface demo trates. It's called "Gy y,"and really is a PC in the car's dashboard. There's a slot into which an iPod can be i erted (not in the glove box, butright on the dashboard), and a screen from which the iPod can be completely controlled. Browse any playlist, genre,artist...just as if you were using the iPod itself.

It's still under development, but it looks pretty cool.CNET has a video of Gy y interacting with an iPod.
