As Apple rumors go, this one is pretty unbelievable, but after a little thought it makes a lot of sense. German site Focus has published a completely unsubstantiated claim that Apple will team up with Mercedes to bring in-car entertainment and navigation to the cars in 2009.
Crazy, huh? What next? Apple branded toasters? Wait, they already did that. But take a look at the iPhone. No GPS yet, but it will doubtless turn up in a future version, and Apple is all over the easy touch-screen experience. Is it so odd to think that the company might make a car specific iPod? The iPod Auto, if you will.
