In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taking-the-computer-for-a-spin dept.

kraksmokr writes "Xenarc Technologies have introduced a cool new in-dash DIN-form-factor Car PC. It features built in hard drive, audio/video, and GPS, among other things. Estimated price will be about $1200. I can't even begin to list the possibilities for mobile computing bliss." I'm even more impressed that they can fit it into the dash than I am with in-dash CD changers. If you buy this thing, use it safely. None of us want auto PC users to end up in the same category as annoying cell phone users.

    Quote: "We are currently working on a version with faster processor speed. Please check back with us in a couple of months for more information."

    In other words: Don't buy our current product. We will use the non-existant money we make from not selling version one to make version two.

    Didn't other companies go broke due to similar statements?
