The Camaro must be a limited edition model. Only ten to be produced. That should be equal to the amount of Zunes in use in the U.S. Zune support will be the final straw that sends GM into bankruptcy. I damn sure don't want the government giving any more bailout cash to GM if this is what GM is going to do with it. Backing some losing product like the Zune proves GM's incompetency.]]>May 12th 2009 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/> "but they are endorsing a brand that no one uses."

Exactly. How many sales is GM gonna close with this:

Salesman: "By the way... you can plug your Zune into this car!"

Car buyer: "Finally! Let's go sign the papers!"

In this day and age... NOT supporting the iPod is suicide. It's the #1 MP3 player AND phone. Let's hope GM supports both...]]>May 12th 2009 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/

The problem with your comments is that you're playing the fanboy role. What you should be saying, is that all devices should be supported via a usb port in the dash. That would be the common sense approach and not make you sound like a muppet.

FYI: There are more than 50 million current blackberry users....yeah 50 MILLION!!! I doubt that there are that many current iPod users, although undoubtably there have been more than that many iPods sold.

the sync feature in fords has very little to do with the zune, and much more to do with voice command and integrated functions. and they work spotty at best. i bought an 08 edge last year with it, and could only stomach the constant issues for about two months before i ripped all of their crap out of it, and installed a pioneer avic d3 with a bluetooth module. admittedly, it doesnt have quite as many features as sync offers, but i have yet to have a single issue with it.]]>May 12th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/> "The problem with your comments is that you're playing the fanboy role."

The Blackberry doesn't have a dock connector that connects to a car... only a 1/8" jack. There's no Blackberry integration in cars.

More iPod and iPhone user will benefit from car integration. ]]>May 12th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/

Why? because more people have iPods and more cars have iPod integration? Is that not true?

One of the reasons iPods took off is the fact that cars would work with it... years ago. Will the Zune take over as the MP3 player of choice now that GM is on board?

BTW, I have a Blackberry... and I don't even use my iPod Nano anymore because I use my Blackberry to play music and podcasts. But you know there are millions of iPod users still out there... who will be happy to have an iPod connection in their new car.]]>May 12th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 11th 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 11th 2009 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 11th 2009 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/May 12th 2009 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/chevy-camaro-evidently-nabs-microsoft-zune-support/
