iPAQ AutoMP3 Jukebox How-to

Ralph Cottenham writes: "tinytechnews has just put the finishing touches on its first how-to article; a complete MP3 jukebox in your vehicle with a sleek interface provided by the Compaq iPAQ. This article shows you how to use your iPAQ PocketPC to supply your favorite music wherever you go." A lot of the "how-to" work here is accomplished by adding an external hard drive to the iPAQ (running Windows, not GNU/Linux) with Addonics' PocketEX enclosure and an IBM diskdrive, but consideration is also given to various ways to pipe the sound into a car stereo system.

Possible Future How-To's

[Dr_Cheeks]

Here's some more suggestions for them if they feel that their solution was so much better than just getting an MP3 player and a car-kit:

• Replace your car steering wheel with a fly-by-wire system using a force-feedback gamepad.
• Replace your suspension with a liquid N2 cooled ceramic HT superconducting magnetic levitation system.
• Replace your wipers with dozens of tiny robots that constantly crawl across your windscreen blasting dirt off with teeny lasers ripped from CD players.
• Replace your engine with a cold-fusion reactor

Etc. etc. etc.

Can you say "Overkill"?
