Apple Partnering with Volkswagen for “iCar” Project?
A recent article from the German-language newspaper “Financial Times Deutschland” has left us all wondering what the next surprise Apple is preparing for us will be. “Financial Times Deutschland” has started to speculate when Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has met Volkswagen’s CEO Martin Winterkorn few days ago. Although nobody quite knows why the two CEOs have met and what they have discussed, the German newspaper has started to spread one of the most fascinating rumors ever, that of the American high tech company’s partnering with the German car-maker for an ultimate collaboration over a so called “iCar”.

Furthermore when Volkswagen’s representative has confirmed for the German newspaper that the discussions between the two companies are at an “early stage”, the rumor has started to go crazy. But could this really be possible? “Financial Times Deutschland” has even reported that the two companies are planning to create the car so that it could cost less than $10,000.

Still, everything sounds merely strange. On the other hand some annalists are saying that this rumor is nothing more than a speculation and that Volkswagen and Apple has always been in good relations. They say that the German newspaper is just speculating and that Apple and Volkswagen might in fact discuss only about continuing their deal involving VW cars already equipped with Apple’s high technology devices.
