SNT's IOPS in-dash PC

Distraction-devoted drivers can look forward to SNT's IOPS in-dash car PC, which will be unveiled later this week at Cebit, along with some hardware deets. Right now we can tell you that it runs Windows XP, has a 7-inch main touch screen interface, gives you internet access with HSDPA, connects to Bluetooth devices, and streams live video from your rear bumper (great for more perpendicular-inclined parallel parkers). For drivers in Korea who can actually use the technology (tear, sniff), the IOPS unit can not only play live T-DMB programming, but also records shows on its hard drive for later viewing, and can even burn them to a disc. A price hasn't been announced yet, but anyone who drops cash on this won't have to suffer a boring TV-less or web-less drive again.

XP? No thanks, call me when it's running OSX or something more stable and intuitive.

Look on the bright side, at least it doesn't run ME... Or Vista.

Indash HSDPA and WiFi? Woot! This plus SlingMedia software in my 2009 Skyline GTR = BLISS!!

HAHA. You know, funny thing about Vista, is it made a life long PC user switch to an iMac the day it was released. He said no more and made the switch cold turkey. He will run any essential PC apps in Parallels on his iMac running XP, otherwise, he's a mac user now. Vista just seems to have way too many privacy and clunky in your way features.

I'm curious if anybody wanted to discuss THE PRODUCT at all in the comments section.

WTF is with the Mac fans dissing this? If you want a Mac carputer, then friggen build one and shut the hell up.

Seriously, you guys need to grow up . . . it's pathetic.

I think this is great, anyone that's been involved in the car PC building community knows we've been waiting FOREVER for an all-in-one solution. Looks like this notion is finally hitting the mainstream. Infill had a good start, though waay too expensive. It should be interesting to see how this one turns out.
