Omnifi's new DMP2 -- A digital entertainment hub for your car
We wrote a story for Slate a few months back about (among other things) the DMP1 from Omnifi, a with an MP3 player for your car with a hard drive that you could sync up with your PC's music collection over WiFi (if your car was parked within range), or detach and just connect up over USB 2.0 if you needed to. Now making it even easier than ever to distract yourself while driving, they're coming out with a new version called the DMP2 that handles video as well as audio — though you still have provide the in-car TV. Besides being able to play MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, and XviD video clips, the new version improves on the original with a larger,
60GB hard drive and a bump up in speed of its WiFi connection from 802.11b to 802.11g, something which should make transferring over all those MP3s considerably less of a chore.
