Ford's Mobile WiFi Hot Spot Using SYNC

Ford Motor Company will turn vehicles into rolling
WiFi hot spots when it introduces the second generation of its popular SYNC® in-car connectivity system next year.

Inserting an owners compatible USB mobile broadband modem sometimes called an air card into SYNCs USB port will produce a secure wireless connection that will be broadcast throughout the vehicle, allowing passengers with WiFi-enabled mobile devices to access the Internet anywhere the broadband modem receives connectivity.

@mnewxcv - Why to order this month's new mobile phone of course! And, they show both a Dell and a Mac... probably to demonstrate compatibility to both op-sys.

They didn't even load any pages. 3G = broadband BS. Not to mention that Sync is made by Microsoft and it is in a Ford...wow. Tell me when a 6 MB/s connection is available for my non Ford car.
