The easiest way for a company to get screwed is to get into bed with Apple Computer. Volkswagen AG is the latest company considering this tempting proposition.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen AG have reportedly met to discuss a possible computer/automobile collaboration. Volkswagen has said that it would like to embed ultra-mobile PCs inside its VWs. And Steve Jobs is planning to be the beneficiary of such ambition.
It looks like Jobs is up to his old self…refusing to play second fiddle to anyone. Early reports say that Jobs is already calling the collaboration with Volkswagen the iCar. The same way Apple managed to keep AT&T’s name off the iPhone, the iCar could turn Volkswagen into another generic manufacturer just happy to be in the same room with an Apple product.
This new partnership would be the latest Apple venture outside of the computer making business in the past year. In September of last year, the company showcased its first set-top box, the AppleTV. Then earlier this year Steve Jobs put the fear of god into mobile phone manufacturers when he released the iPhone.
