Apple pushes iTunes to cars. |

Wednesday, 12 March 2008 |
Apple has sealed a deal with USTelematics to have iTunes available in passenger cars. USTelematics's product is Voyager. Voyager is online access in a car, based on IPTV technology.
Apparently USTelematics & Apple had come to an agreement earlier, but now they have the pricing squared away. Kinda crazy when you think about it. Soon you'll have access to your iTunes account in your new car. Unfortunately the US Telematics website doesn't work quite right, you can't spec out a car or take a look at the cars they say are on eBay. But as an example for price, an '07 Lexus with talking email will run you about $400 / month, while an '07 Toyota Minivan with satelite TV will run you $430. The voyager car PC runs about $800, without the hotspot or CD/DVD player.
