Not to mention that they can get the podcasts too.
Bob Lutz points us to the direct interface from iPods to 2006 Pontiac Solstice radios with additional discussions at Autoblog. Regardless of the mechanics of the interface, that’s selling lifestyle.
If you didn’t know how widespread the iPod has gotten, Andrew Sullivan provides perspective on the "iWorld":
What was once an occasional musical diversion
became a compulsive obsession. Now I have my iTunes in my iMac for my
iPod in my iWorld. It’s Narcissus heaven: we’ve finally put the “i”
into Me.And, like all addictive cults, it’s spreading. There are now
22m iPod owners in the United States and Apple is becoming a
mass-market company for the first time.
(Note: US Census Bureau indicates that the population of the state of New York and United States is estimated to be 19 million and 290 million respectively.)
Now not everyone has an iPod, but I can already see the iPods being given away by local dealers in car promotions.
