The SmartRider, PDC's in-car computer

PDC SmartRider

It's technically more of a souped up PDA than a proper PC, but a Taiwanese company by the name PDC has been showing off a new in-car computer called the SmartRider that runs on Windows CE.NET 4.2 (which means it should be instant-on, if nothing else), and has a DVD drive, FM and TV tuners, GSM/GPRS for wireless data (yes, it has Intenet Explorer), integrated GPS, a 300MHz AMD Geode GX1 processor, 128MB of RAM, 128MB of ROM, a 7-inch LCD touch screen, and an SD/MMC memory card reader.
