Ford Motor Company has announced that it will be offering a new digital dashboard control system on 12 of its 2008 vehicles and expanding that across their line as an option for the 2009 model year. The system, unveiled at the North American International Auto Show on Sunday, is called "Sync" and has been developed in partnership with Microsoft. The Redmond giant has developed the new music and mobile phone system for use by all automakers, but Ford is the first major American automaker to apparently sign on the dotted line. Bill Gates briefly mentioned Sync in his keynote address at CES.
