Ford SYNC with Applink - Click above to watch the video after the the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/27/sync-updated-with-stock-quotes-horoscopes-and-more-w-video/#continued)
Ford's (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) excellent SYNC (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sync) infotainment technology is undoubtedly already one of the best systems on the market. But there's clearly been one glaring omission that's been keeping the Microsoft-developed system from attaining its true position as the ultimate automotive killer app that the world has been waiting for: horoscopes.
Good news, all you budding astrologers... Ford has seen fit to add daily horoscopes to all Ford, Lincoln (http://autoblog.com/make/lincoln) and Mercury (http://autoblog.com/make/mercury)vehicles equipped with the cloud-based SYNC app Traffic, Directions & Information (TDI). There's no cost and all the driver needs are an active owner account on www.syncmyride.com (http://www.syncmyride.com/) and a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.
Horoscopes not your thing? No problem! There will also be access to stock quotes, movie listings, airlines, rental cars and hotels. If this kind of thing tickles your wattle fancy, we suggest you check out the video and press release after the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/27/sync-updated-with-stock-quotes-horoscopes-and-more-w-video/#continued).
