Ford releasing Software Development Kit to developers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 11, 2010 -- Ford of Clermont is pleased to announce that Ford Motor Company is releasing its Software Development Kit (SDK) to smart phone developers, who will now be able to modify existing applications to work with Ford's in-car SYNC entertainment system through voice recognition. This allows for safer, more convenient hands-free operation while driving -- a move that Ford hopes will help forge a more open, collaborative bond with the wireless, consumer electronics, and software developer communities.

A recent study found that 46 percent of adult smart phone users have applications on their phones, and nearly as many use them while commuting. Such drivers can now look forward to even easier access to features like personalized news, entertainment, navigation, and traffic, and stock price tracking. Possible future partnerships include Pandora internet radio, Stitcher smart radio and Orangatame’s OpenBeak.
