Apple, Volkswagen discussing partnershipEveryone wants to ride the iPhone wave these days to grab the piece of the free publicity that comes with relating to Apple and their products. Latest in the pipeline is the German automaker Volkswagen. Apparently, the two companies are discussing partnership that could even result in a Apple-designed car. While this is still speculative, we could safely bet VW will be introducing vehicles with iPhone/iPod integration support.

VW spokesperson was short only confirming the talks were held and adding there were “lots of ideas but no specific plans.” Rumor gates are widely open, let the iCar speculation begin! :)
