    Post Smart Vehicle PC on Slashdot

    Well I was on Slashdot earlier today and saw this little article about VPC-1000 from SmartVehiclePC.com. Looks like a kinda cool idea from a footprint point of view, but the processor leaves alot to be desired.

    I also read about it this morning. It's a very cool unit, but the price (Slashdot quotes it at $1000) pretty much puts it out of the question. Also, it's not at all clear as ot whether an LCD screen is included, is inbuilt, or costs extra.

    yeah, $1k for a 266mhz machine!!?? it wouldnt be so bad if it was over like 500mhz. then at least programs wouldnt be slow and you could play divx.
