Conectividade é a palavra-chave?
O ultimo anuncio da VW fala do futuro do audio no carro. E a palavra chave é conectividade"Not so long ago, the key features in mobile audio were things like a six-disc CD changer... The next wave has more to do with auto makers providing plugs and ports for connecting various digital-storage devices with the audio system. The simplest of these is the 'AUX,' or auxiliary jack. That's the little socket that allows you to plug a portable audio device into the car's audio system...
"The problem with just plugging your iPod into an auxiliary jack is the 'human-machine interface'.. twiddling the iPod's touchy little control wheel while piloting a car at 70 miles per hour... One solution... is to integrate the iPod with the car's audio system so the driver can select tunes using the normal audio controls.

"At Mercedes-Benz, the new S Class has a 20-gigabyte hard drive as part of its music system, and a slot for a PCMCIA card. Other new Mercedes will likely come with similar systems that allow drivers to bring large amounts of digital entertainment into the car without an iPod.
"The final frontier: wireless connections... Next up are wireless USB connections and wireless charging. Such systems might involve a pad mounted in the cupholder that would charge a properly equipped digital device...
"Auto makers still have something to offer, if they can create systems that integrate all the varieties of digital data consumers want to bring along for the ride in displays that are useful, easy to control and, in the case of audio systems, sound great."

Where does this leave radio? It leaves radio with what radio can do that an iPod can't do It leaves radio with what's between the songs and between the spots.»
