Let's be honest: when Apple unveiled the iPhone last summer, they
forever changed the mobile market. Not only did they have Apple
fanboys lined up half-a-week in advance to get their hands on the new
phone, in retrospect, they also managed to pull off one of the
greatest product launches in history. Now, a year later, Apple has
introduced a 3G iPhone; they've cut its price to a paltry $199; and in
my opinion, they've eliminated any justifiable reasons to buy any
phone other than an iPhone.

So why am I telling you this? The reason, ladies and gentlemen, is
because today, Mercedes has acknowledged Apple's current (and in all
probability future) dominance in the mobile arena, so much so that
they have unveiled a new cradle specifically for the device.
Available now for the Mercedes-Benz C-, E-, CLK-,
CLS-, S-, CL-, SL-, M- and R-Class (as well as the in the future for
the forthcoming GLK-Class), the Apple iPhone cradle allows seamless
integration between your device's music and telephone functions and
your vehicle's architecture.

Here's how it works. First....
