How much?

Dumb question but, how would you get the internet?

 

[cfusionpm]

... that is awesome. i must have one! how much?

 

[ivanr4g63]

As much as i love technology I still don't understand it, I mean everyday it surprises us with more advances and better performance in new and improved technology, but why would I want to be surfing the net in my car? or playing PS2? I mean, I don't want to be an ASS, but IMO the living room with a good home theater system and a plasma TV will be a great entertainment center, or a Pentium 4 computer with 1 gig of ram, 128 mb of video ram on a agp card, 17" flat monitor, and a T3 internet access, that will be a great system too, but trying to mix some of this into a car, is just going too far into the "not to useful" subjet, But then again this is just my opinion and I definetaly don't want to ofend nobody with this comment, its just that I don't find this useful at all, Instead I watch a movie at the living room, go to the desk for surfing the net or make computer work, go to my room to play Xbox, and go to my car if I want to go somewhere... don't you think...?

If you want a in car computer. Here is another company. And yes you can get high speed wireless internet in your car.
G-NET

that's kinda cool, but a lot of money...money that i would rather put into the car's performance.

 

[justincredible]

the things they come up with these days....

 

[RipperXX]

HOLY SHIT Thats just what i have been looking for i was about to buy a small laptop and set it up in my glove box but stuff that.. (unless it cost more )

 

[tlnpwr]

if only i had money

 

[Defiant]

Too effing cool. I run Street Atlas off a Toshiba Portege 320CT now, a nice small computer with decent features. But I want one of these.
Usefulness? GPS, MP3, digital camera file transfer, any kind of reference or mapping tools..... I see lots of utility in it. Once you've gone to a strange place with GPS, you'll never be the same.

 

[RipperXX]

damn.. i was thinking about trying to make something along these lines too... er why is it every time i get a good idea for something it's about to come out already..

i still might just use a laptop but the GPS is realy a nice feature.. depending on the price of that thing im gona go with it..

 

[Tevenor]

What's the price?

 

[98RedGs]

Hate to bust on what someone has found but...


Processor: Intel low power MMX-266MHz --- S L O W !
^^ For the price the 266 coulda been faster or a better chip. ^^
512KB 2nd level pipeline burst cache -- nice.
Intel triton II TX Chipset --- chipset isnt that fast i dont think
^^ ( correct me if im wrong tho! ) ^^
Memory: 128 MB SDRAM --- Woulda liked DDR
Video: 2MB on-board SDRAM -- SLOW AND NOT ENOUGH!!!!!
Mini-Din connector for PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse ---- AWSOME!!!

Which is why I asked for a price. If it's 200-400 bucks, its well worth it. If it's $1000, screw it.

Im guessing the reason for the small processor is heat. IF you had a bigger processor, you would need a big heatsink and fan, theres no room for something like that in a single din computer. The MMX means its a mobile processor too, so it runs cooler and uses less power. I think its a good processor for that big of a computer, I'd run windows 98 SE. (oh god!). But its cool

yea well just for GPS and mp3's 266 mhz is all you need dip.. why put something in it that will make it over kill ?? it just would make the product cost more.. and a chipset that damn old can not use DDR... although i know you said that with a new one.. and wtf do you need a nice vid card for? i mean what you want a GeForce FX in there or some shit? if you wana play games get a PSone or PS2 and put it in there.. or like i was sayin a LAPTOP!
