Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? And by the way, if you can throw in a 3G iPhone as well, that’d be just dandy… Well, at least they’d integrate properly. Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its new iPhone cradle, which charges the handset while letting you control it via your Merc’s own multimedia system (they don’t call them car radios these days). You can also expect better reception, since the iPhone is hooked into the car’s own antenna. So far, it’s available in Germany, but will presumably be coming to Blighty soon. And expect other car manufacturers to follow suit, as they twig that iPhone integration can seize them some headlines, and attract a bunch of early adopters with money to burn.
