Would you want Apple's new CarPlay in your car? I Like
and give a resounding yes! :)
@foochuck
No offense to Apple, but why the hell would I want to
invest in #CarPlay versus purchasing a $5 audio cable @
Target? No thanks.
@ryan
Wonky UI, slow to respond to touch, no swiping, and are
they using a resistive touchscreen? The CarPlay demo
looks really disappointing.
@auchenberg
CarPlay brings Apple Maps to cars. Is that really a good
thing?
@StarBurst1977
Need to check my Ferrari to see if it is CarPlay compatible :)
@teesang
If this allows Google Maps & RDIO control, I'm in :P
@BenHolfeld
Woah Apple is innovative again! :)
