Ford Sync from Microsoft Auto

Initially to be made available in 12 2008 models across the Ford family and across the entire 2009 lineup from FoMoCo, Sync is a fully integrated, flash memory-based system that enables drivers to call hands-free and to control a range of digital audio via voice commands and buttons mounted on the steering wheel. The system is based on a Microsoft Auto operating system made up of an ARM 11 processor, 64MB of DRAM, and 256MB of flash memory. Its most advanced feature is the ability to understand voice commands for individual tracks and artists. Sync will make its debut in 2008 Ford models in the fall this year.
