January CarPlay roundup

"The switch from Microsoft to BlackBerry has been rumored since early this year. Sync with MyFord Touch has been a source of many customer complaints. The gripes about Sync have actually hurt customer satisfaction and quality ratings for Ford vehicles in surveys conducted by JD Power and others. The system frequently locks up, has difficulty connecting to a device and it sometimes doesn't understand voice commands. Especially frustrating is Sync's complicated commands to navigate the various features by voice."

My last post, comparing the number of iPhones Apple to the number of Windows PCs sold last quarter (roughly the same) is a perfect illustration of another coming trend that Apple 3.0 is anticipating:

“In five years, there will be 250m connected cars on the road as the Internet of Things grows to include 25bn devices”

The Telegraph | How connected cars are driving the Internet of Things (27 January 2015)

Google was two years late to the smartphone market, and Microsoft (despite being in the smartphone market first) failed to recognize the game-changer that was iPhone and has only recently started producing feature-competitive offerings. Will cars be the same? Google is less than two years behind this time, and BlackBerry (with QNX) has a strategic position, but with Apple's reputation for quality software and new-car customers clamoring for exactly that, Apple could be in the driver's seat here, too.
