More carmakers are getiing on the iPod bandwagon. Apple Computer is working with GM, Ford and Mazda to integrate the iPod into their audio systems.
Snippet: Carmakers say they are responding to a booming trend in which sales of iPods and other MP3 players are predicted to more than double, from 58 million units in 2005 to 132 million in 2009.
The iPod holds about a 75 percent share of the portable player market in the United States...

What's not really touched on in the Detroit News story (but covered by other news outlets) is the angst that all these iPod connections will cause XM and Sirius. Why pay a monthly subscription when you can hook up your iPod with your playlist and have the song and artist show up on the car stereo?
