Ford and Microsoft's little voice control in-car connectivity project
seems to be doing pretty well for itself, judging by the latest
milestone it has passed. Sync has just been announced to have crossed
the three million mark when counting the cars it's installed in, with
recent data suggesting takeup for the $395 optional extra is growing.
Nearly 80 percent of purchases of current 2011 Ford models include
Sync, while over 80 percent of those already using it say they'd
recommend the service to others. The latter number has improved by a
robust 5 percentage points over last year, so clearly something's
being done right here, but we're more interested in finding out what
alternatives the other car and electronics makers will come up with
during this year's CES. Rest assured, we'll explore them all.
