Ford Focus adds on-board WiFi, unfortunately for Europe only at this point
The new global Focus is jam-packed with technology, and the latest among them is a new in-car WiFi system.
The device works with SYNC and MyFord Touch to pick up the signal from a mobile internet dongle or smartphone and share it with as many as five additional devices in the car. This should come in handy for road trips and traveling salesmen, but we hope drivers will be able to stayed focused while behind the wheel.
One way or another, the system appears to be available – at least initially – only overseas in European markets, but we'll be keeping an eye out for its introduction in the United Sates, as well.
I can see this as good and bad
