Apple rumored to be working on developing in-car entertainment/GPS for Mercedes

Apple is the market leader in the portable digital media player segment. The company is now entering the mobile phone market with their upcoming Apple iPhone device.

The latest rumor in the market suggest that the company is also working on developing an in-car entertainment/GPS system for Mercedes.

This could be their way of bringing their revolutionary interface and touch-screen technology into cars across the globe.

This was first reported in a news item in the Germany’s Focus magazine which stated: “Mercedes will exclusively offer the new Apple set for six months. On an introduction on the market presumably 2009 are to be counted. Unclear it is still whether Apple – similar as with iPhone – on Google will trust maps as navigation aid”.

Apple has not commented on these latest market rumors as the company is totally focused on the upcoming Apple iPhone launch.
