I am not sure how entertained I need to be by various devices while I have my eyes on the road and the hands on the wheel. However modern cars will bring us modern technology. Dashboard Devices will arrive at CES 2009 with its ENV or Entertainment and Navigation for Vehicles system.
The ENV-XC has a processor, a graphics unit, WiFi, WWAN a 160GB hard drive, DVD player, satellite radio support, a 7 inch touchscreen and Windows XP. Like what you hear? The car computer can be bundled with a pair of headphones too. The double-DIN ENV-100 will offer true dual zone control, which means you can have different content and in the front. The alternative is the ENV-50 which is a single-DIN.
The double-DIN version will cost $2,700. That’s a lot for a computer comparable with a netbook which will distract you while you drive!

Like you said, I would prefer a big laptop strapped to my dash, my ipod tethered to my radio and a GPS suctioned to my windshield and Cellphone tucked under my ear. Yep, that’s the car for me, now anyone for bets of which of my double-sided tape and sticky suction devices will knock me out in the event of a crash… Oh, and I guess this author can skip on the many models of Fords sold today being they have Microsoft Sync, a windows CE computer in them…
