Default Where are the Sync Apps?
Ford released their SDK kit a while ago and there was talk of getting some cool apps to tailor our trucks more to our liking. So, has anybody heard of anything coming?

Is this something that's user friendly for us non-developer types?

Nope. It's nerd territory.

As far as I'm aware (based off reading the Ford site) the mobile OS is irrelevant. You can write the software for iOS, Android, etc. using Ford's SDK which communicates with the Sync voice command system.

I got it. The apps would reside on your mobile device not on the sync system itself. Thanks

If anyone has any ideas for apps, I'd be willing to try my hand at 'em. I develop Android apps for work, would be willing to take a stab at iOS as well. It's as shame that AppLink doesn't work on the navigation-enabled cars, cutting out a big chunk of users there.
