I've been looking at building a carputer for a few years, compiling parts here and there.
Had an interesting discussion in a parking lot with someone who's been on the same odyssey, and if it weren't for fitment issues he would have seriously considered embedding an ipad.
As much as I hate apple, I did consider it until I stumbled across "android tablets at computex." I've been using an android phone (the mytouch 3g) for many of the applications I had hoped to implement in the computer, but the limited power makes things seriously slow down when I multitask. Hacking android on to unsupported hardware is problematic to impossible.
So this looks like the silver bullet.
Are there tablets or MIDs that have cellular data (usb dongle support would be best, so I can use it with a proper lappy as well), and a gps reciever?
