MIMO DREAMPLUG as a car pc?

**Robert Cast** · 04-29-2012, 01:53 PM

I am a complete newbie to the car pc world and was looking into alternatives to the standard pc and came across this:

Hooked up to a touchscreen monitor from the same site and an esata hard drive or a bigger sd card does it seem like a logical choice for a car pc?

any info would be great .

thanks a lot

They're not bad, but the very high entry price, combined with being ARM so eliminating the windows market makes it more useful as an always-on embedded device than a normal carpc. A couple members here actually use the original Sheeva Plug in their cars, and the low power usage is very nice for extended periods of sitting.

interesting i just mentioned it because there a guy selling one and a touchscreen at a very good price and it looked good.

The other choice was the whole android phone concept linked to a touchscreen display which was lovely but my new htc sensation xl doesnt have the hdmi mirroring ..... wtf 0__o
