Ford's New Mobile App (Video)

 It gives new meaning to the term "car phone."

Here's a look at a new mobile app launched at CES today that works with the new Ford Focus electronic vehicle that enables you to manage your car - and even control many features by remote control. Heck, you can even share how much gas and money you've saved on your Facebook or Twitter pages.

I do wonder if the app's charge-finder feature, which shows you places to charge up your car, makes the car itself seem complicated. Will buyers find it too much of a pain to go find charging stations vs. gas stations? Early electric cars seemed to fail because of this, while hybrids took off because people used the same infrastructure they always used.

I do wonder if having to use a special app to find a charging station will scare some buyers away.

But kudos to Ford for getting out there and innovating what clearly is the future of automobiles.
