Now we're talking! All we need is an Andriod Symmetry app! Did they actually release this!?

They did, but in a quite pared down size. There is one on ebay right now as matter of fact.....

If you really want to do some crazy things you should use that with Locale and Custom Car Home or Car Dock home v3 to Make yourself have an Android Car. I also like to use the Program Edwin, Vlingo or Google voice to do some tasks without touching anything on my tablet. Lots of exciting stuff for android. That rockford fosgate unit seems cool but my car has bluetooth a2dp streaming stock but would be nice if i decide to put some aftermarket Headunit and system in the future.

I googled some of the apps you mentioned, very interesting stuff. It just don't seem they were designed for tablets, though, or were day? The icons seem too big for a tablet...I've found Car Dock Home v2/3 very cool though.

Dood, Vlingo is SO totally designed for the Tablet! I loaded it on my phone, and it was one of the first things I loaded on the Tablet, too! Originally designed for the Evo 4G, it fits nicely on the tablet....big buttons for ease of use.

Yea i find programs with big buttons are helpful because the less time looking down the more productive you can be by being safe and driving!

Here the list of what I am running on my tablet to give you guys some ideas!

Thanks for checking it out. Should post some soon but my tablet had some issues with the hard drive and so i called their tech support for it and they sent me stuff to rma it. Since it still under warranty It shouldn't be an issue but i have to send it out. I'm going to tinker with it just in case its something software related before i send it out though! But after it comes back, when i get everything setup again I'll post some pics there. I dunno might even do a video.
