Back from Seattle Focused and Synced
I just got back from Seattle as a guest of Ford and Microsoft to test drive the new 2008 Ford Focus and Ford Sync. Developed by Microsoft and Ford Motor Company, the Sync allows drivers the convenience to use in the vehicle nearly any Bluetooth mobile phone or music player such as the iPod or Zune using voice commands or the vehicle's steering wheel.
Very impressive technology - could be the killer app in merging one's content into a complete mobile package. More later...
I'll be reviewing the Ford Sync, the redesigned Ford Focus and some thoughts on the Microsoft Home of the Future over at GearDiary next week.

If you got to do this for your job, all I can say is "cool!"
Sharon, this was part of the GearDiary web site, where I write about gadgets and technology stuff as part of Judie Lipsett's writing team. It is cool to be part of the new media alongside the traditional print / automobile journalists present. I was the only tech writer present on this particular trip. The Ford Focus will be on showroom floors later this year. It's a nice small car.
You're always cutting edge, my friend! Looking forward to the full write-up.
Kerry, I'm glad to see you made it back in once piece! I'm really excited to read about your trip - I didn't realize when we were asked that we were the only tech site invited...pure awesomeness! :-))
