According to analysis from Frost & Sullivan, car makers are embracing the Internet in autos, and they predict that by 2015, the number of vehicles that connect to the Internet solely through smartphones will surpass 5 million in just North America alone. According to a Frost & Sullivan press release, “Hybrid connected telematics models like the Ford Sync offer huge potential to bring smartphones into the cabin of the car.” Frost & Sullivan’s Global Program Manager Praveen Chandrasekar says, “Gen-Y'ers and technology usage trends in the United States and Europe are driving the use of mobile Internet on new generation smartphones, and downloading apps from sites like Apple is becoming increasingly popular.” Recently, Clear Channel reported that the average user of their “IHeartRadio” mobile radio app spends 3.5 hours a week listening to stations online.
