Here is a company from Michigan that really has something neat. They are introducing this device this week at the CES (Consumer Electronics show – hafta go to that one of these days) out in Las Vegas.

This is a full-blown computer for your car – keyboard and everything. It fits where a traditional radio/NAV device would fit in a newer car. (These types of slots are known as “double-DIN”.)

This baby has an Intel processor, 1GB of RAM, has a hard drive, and runs Windows Vista Ultimate. With that comes everything else: hard-drive based navigation (GPS/maps/directions, etc), music storage, iPod connection, Bluetooth, WiFi, satellite radio, CD player, DVD movies…lots of stuff. They are saying initial pricing will be at $2,799.

This outfit is based in Grand Blanc and the units are made here in Michigan.

The Great Lakes IT Report has an excellent piece on this unit here and the company web site is here

Of course, I want one of these. It just looks too cool. I wonder if they are looking any “celebrity endorsers”? Hmmm…
