When Nvidia built the Tegra 2 the car entertainment market was one of there largest predicted areas of profit. That’s because it can be done for dirt cheap now, one chip the size of your palm with dual core ghz chips. 3 usbs for some one to customise whatever storage solution they want (hard drive, dvd, digital radio). 1080p resolution so you can have 50 inch monitors running if you want. And if you’re not smart enough to disassemble a cheap tablet with the chip in it, I’m sure a manufacturer somewhere would charge you less than $500 for a professional version (whether they use Tegra or develop there own (given a reasonable time for the market to adapt). also any of you people that think you’ll get anything similar in function with the ipad without buying 10 accessories at an absorbitant price and a dozen or so ‘apps’ are kidding them self. The Ipad wont kill the car entertainment market it will just make it cheaper; but that’s bound to happen as we are using less and less materials to do more and more.
