10 or 15 years ago, this would have been true. Today, only the cost part might be true.

Let's leave the evil Bill vs. evil Steve to the marketplace to decide.

Disclosure: I don't own AAPL or MSFT. I own F.

Except if your a graphic designer and then it's the industry standard unless you are just talking iPhones. personally I think I'd throw my self off a bridge if I had to work on a windows machine 8 -12 hrs a day. From a principles standpoint I think I should be able to put anything on my iPhone that I choose to, but I guess that's what jail breaking is for.

I have very few problems with connecting my iPhone, it connects everytime i get in the truck in fact its more of an issue disconnecting it so that my daughter can use her iPod over Bluetooth.

I have an Iphone 4S, and its works great with sync. Never had a problem with sync since i'vehad my iphone, with my old blackberry that was a very different story. I used to have a kia soul and the bluetooth in those isnt great, i would take sync any day over that.

Haven't been able to do it with a voice command, but generally a good fart will do it.

Wow, I didn't know that this was about Apple. I bet you like your Zune, eh?

I have a 2011 f-150 lariat. When my sync works it works great but it only works about half the time. When it doesn't work nothing works. Won't play the music off my jump drive, won't connect to my phone won't do anything. It just flashes sync and then throws the radio back to FM. I've had it at the dealership 4 times for this issue and they have replaced the sync module three times and still the stupid thing works when it wants to. I'm done with sync. I'm trying to get the dealership to give me money to get a aftermarket radio as we speak.

Never used a zune. I have an older iPod, and it sucks, always locking up and needing a reboot. Actually haven't used it since 2008 when I discovered that a 10$ usb flash drive works flawlessly with sync and expensive iPods don't. Wanna buy it?

Before you give up on it.... TSB 11-10-22 updates the Audio Control Module software, in particular the interface to Sync. That made ALL my Sync problems go away on my 2011 Lariat. The current Sync software should be at v3.2.2 and you can check that, and update it if need be, without needing the dealer.

I didn't have any issues with my sync. Maybe I just have a software friendly voice
