I can barely connect my Ipod, but that looks really cool. I'd love to have a set up like that in my car.

I was thinking about putting a mac mini in my car, with a small 8" display, but the interface is what makes it a pain in the ass. Touch screen would be ideal, but they ain't cheap. and I really don't feel like keeping a keyboard and mouse in my car.

It would be nice to park near a wifi spot and be able to surf the net and stuff, plus keep my while mp3 and movie collection handy in my car.
