FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alpharetta, Georgia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 26, 2011 -- The J.D. Power and Associates 2011 U.S. Automotive Emerging Technologies Study revealed that 86 percent of smartphone owners use their device while in the car. With the development of Ford Sync AppLink technology, Ford is leading the way in innovative methods for hands-free mobile application use in vehicles. In fact, Ourisman Ford, a Virginia Ford dealership, is proud to stock six new models with Ford Sync AppLink technology factory-installed, including the 2012 Ford Mustang, Ford Fusion, Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and Ford E-Series.

Thanks to AppLink connectivity drivers can use simple voice commands to listen to their favorite music on Pandora, tune in to podcasts on Stitcher Smartradio, or stay up-to-date with Twitter using OpenBeak.

“We understand more and more drivers are using their devices and their apps while in the car,” said Doug VanDagens, director of Ford Connected Services Solutions. “Ford is a part of the solution, offering voice-activated options such as Ford SYNC with AppLink on a broader range of our products, which gives more customers a smarter way to access their apps while driving that keeps their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.”

Ford’s vision for the AppLink system does not with these existing applications, however. App developers interested in improving existing mobile applications for AppLink or even creating their own app can connect with Ford through the Ford Sync Mobile Application Developer Network. Currently, more than 2,500 developers have expressed interest in creating applications for the Ford Sync AppLink system.
