I guess it does depend on personal choice. I, for one, would want to listen to my iPod while driving, since all the songs in it are those that I like. Unlike the radio, where you might come across songs you wouldn't like. But then I don't have a car with iPod connectivity, so I can't comment much. I did say Waja and Gen.2 MME excluded…

You can't bring your ICE wherever you go, nor store 30GB/60GB of songs in it, can you? Besides, if you can already own a car with iPod connectivity (Waja and Gen.2 MME excluded), you wouldn't need to upgrade the stereo, such is the sophistication of today's built-in ICE. Take, for example, Volvo, with its superb Dynaudio systems. You won't be able to replace the ICE, anyway, since they're intergrated. I do agree, though, that they should have a USB connection for other MP3 players. BTW, most iPod connections are via cable, with the obvious exception of the MME Edition Protons.

And what's so meaningless about iPod intergration in cars? The iPod is the number one MP3 player on the planet and a lot of people would really like to listen to their music collection while driving. And its quite a pain in the arse to transfer the songs to a disc. Well, for all those of you with Bluetooth-equipped handphones can already connect it to some cars and talk via the radio.

Simple. The connection. Nokia cant make up their mind what kind of connectors they want to use. Is it Pop-art or pop whatever. And SE, oh please....same thing. And people in the US dont usually use Nokia and SE, they prefer Motorola, then how? Apple by far is the most popular and hip MP3s period throughtout the World. Their connectors are standard, they dont change like Nokia and SE I cant wait to get my Ipod Integration kit ! why not Nokia or SE or others? Simple. The connection.
