Land Rover Incorporates iPod Dock - December 23rd, 2007

There’s no question, however, that an iPhone is one of THE fashion accessories of the year. They’re showing up as props on TV shows where high tech gadgetry abounds (think CSI et al) and celebrities like former President Bill Clinton crow enthusiastically abou their love for their iPhones.

The vehicle will be shown off at the Detroit Auto Show in January where other models are expected to have a touch of Apple styling as well. (Take a look at this Engadget post about the new VW dash.)
