“There’s a mobile app for that” as Ford opens the interface to its Sync system. The Sync Open API lets developers create applications, or port over existing applications, for use with the Sync audio and Bluetooth system that’s on more than a million Fords, Lincolns, and Mercurys. Ford recently showed the first two applications, SyncCast and FollowMe, developed in just 100 days this fall by a team of six students at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. SyncCast allows the Sync interface to control streaming iPhone Internet radio. FollowMe lets one iPhone-equipped car follow another iPhone car to a party or restaurant; the trailing car receives turn-by-turn directions not to the destination but to follow the path of the first car.
