I'm good with my 30gb Smartphone as a mp3 player.

My 3 new cars (all 2009-2010 models) replicate the iPod functions pretty damn well. Neither of them have a USB port or an option to add one. They all came with iPod docks, however.

Must be so disheartening to you to find such wide adoption of the iPod dock among so many manufacturers. I, for one, get a big smile on my face when Apple does something that gets you people so riled up.
