True.....if they developed the Android app first...there's simply no way Tim Cook could be happy to hear that the iPhone is thought of as the second most important market....
Apple is working with multiple car manufacturers (such as BMW, General Motors,Toyota, Mercedes, Honda, and Audi.) in integrating a specific button on the steering wheel to have Siri pop up with answer calls, responding to text messages, GPS, and etc. ...
