It looks like the folks at Zap just couldn't let the CES news cycle slip by without getting a word in, as they've just taken the opportunity to announce that they'll be showing off their new "made for iPod" electric cars at that other big show happening this month. That designation, of course, means the car will be equipped with an Apple-approved dock that'll let you both play music through the car's speakers and recharge it using Zap's so-called "Recharge-It-All" system. What's more, it seems that those docks won't be limited to just one car, with Zap saying that first iPod-ready cars will be available later this year, and that it expects to include the docks in every Zap car from then on.
hi,

You’ll find all you need to know
WTF is that?! Looks like a whistle with wheels!
They're going to have to make the accessory section in apple stores a lot bigger.
So if they turn the steering wheel into a click wheel, do you think it would cause women to be better drivers?
I hope the slot for the iPod is well centered ... cause if you place it slightly offcenter .. the car topples.
Voted + because of your avatar... QVGA sucks, I don't know why the f^ck they put QVGA on almost every new PDA, when VGA has been arround (on the consumer level) since arround 2004
And yes readers, this is an offtopic comment
I'm sorry Apple, but that is one ugly car.
That is downright ugly.
I thought apple addicts liked "bling bling" rather than something that looks like turd?
However I will say one good thing, if it is good for the environment I'm all for it, just please make it a bit more appealing so that you don't feel the need to barf when one roles by...
It's almost the same car showed on Mr. Bean tv show but (*oh surprise from mac world*) overpriced.

Do they have to pay 5% royalty on the price of each car sold, since it's made for iPod?
Apple FTW!!
It's a fucking Reliant Robin!!! WTF?!

Will it also be locked so you can only use fuel from the company you buy it from?
you moron, it's electric!! BBuZZZZ
Zap makes some nice stuff, but they tend to price them too high for what you get.
The Electric Car is coming, kids-- It's actually here-- but it's not mainstream enough to be *affordable* yet.
Hey look at that guy in that car. He's not cool. No wait, he has an iPod. So that must be cool.
The first company to invent a 'universal dock' that really works is going to be SO fricking rich...
Maybe real estate agents can now start pitching real estates that are "made for Volvo cars" or "made for Le Creuset" pots.
