Our friends at Engadget got up close and cozy with the new Ford Sync Applink (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/applink/) interface at CES 2012 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ces). Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has put plenty of time ironing out some of the wrinkles in the voice-command system, and the company's work has paid off. Sync (http://www.autoblog.com/sync) Applink is designed to allow users to access certain applications on their compatible smartphones without ever having to take their hands from the wheel. It sounds nice in theory, but Ford has had its fair share of issues getting the technology to produce desired results. Judging by the quick video, that's a thing of the past.
Ford demonstrated how the revised system easily pulls up the new NPR app and how users can easily shuffle through the application's various features. The app even lets users chose any NPR station in the country. How's that for snazzy?
