I guess Im more likely to fall for it since Im 100% Apple and never have to worry about the BSOD.

Micros%$t

I can only imagine how good SNYC would be if it was a Ford/Apple collaboration.

SYNC screen would be an iPad2, removable, super fast, organic LED display, and developers would actually write Apps for it.

Oh ya and all the advertised features would work day 1 instead of years later.

... and it would cost $10,000, will only work on 2% of phones and every other year an upgrade will come that will make your Sync obsolete. No thanks, I know Sync needs a lot of fixes, but no Apple, thank you.

I'm not going to argue this too much...but you are victim to Apple's BEST tool. Marketing. They didn't make the first MP3 player, but they made it mainstream. They didn't make the first smartphone, but again, they made it mainstream. Same goes for the tablet.

They make damn sexy hardware, and they market it quite well. It is NOT the best that wins, just ask the people who lost on the VHS/Beta and HD-DVD/Blueray wars.

I will agree the Apple marketing machine works well and yes I must admit to "Drinking the KoolAid"

At work I use PC 100% and nothing but hardware and software problems all day and night.

At home I use Apple and the aggravation is much less, but yes some issues.

The Apple brainwashing and KoolAid has worked well on me.

Now if you will excuse me I will go line up for a new iPad2 which I have no need for I just feel I need to have one. LOL!

My wife and I always give our vehicles a name after a bit of a drive to give them a little personality. After driving my new ex, he is decidedly a Harrison.

That of course, makes him Harrison Ford.

My Wallpaper

It just brings out the 12 year old in me. Hope your all enjoying your new ride as much as I am.

Cheers

LOL Love it.

This might be a dumb question, but how do we get the wallpaper to show up on the screen? Lol
I got my pic uploaded but can't see it anywhere? Is there a slideshow option or anything like that? We can upload 32 pics. It would be nice to be able to see them All if the screen isn't touched for awile.

 

[DavidM]

To bring up the wallpaper, you touch the home screen button from your main window located at the bottom of the screen, the one thats shaped like a house.

If you are not on the main screen then just touch it twice. A little picto-gram pops up with three "layout" designs to utilize. One is the pictogram representation of having your home screen divided into four quadrants showing phone/nav/music/a/c status. The other shows a lists view, and the one you want is the one that looks like one big screen. This is your wallpaper display mode.

It cannot be set to remember this so far as I know, you have to set that each time you start the car, but it's entertaining to have. With photoshop you can go crazy on design work.

My wife thought that the factory had customized the car that way and was blown away by such a feature. It made me smile.

Enjoy!

Love the pic without my big ugly front plate that came on my truck why? Why?

We we able to take our front plate off pretty easy. Only issue were 2 small holes in lower part of the bumper; dealer plugged with 2 small plastic plugs that matched the bumper perfectly.
