That's exactly what it is at the moment!

This is also a carpc, with integrated GPS-receiver, FM-Radio (with RDS), GSM module... with many options possible.

I will not market it as a carpc, but as a solution, with services around it. It won't be cheap, hell, it will be expensive, but marketed to the people who can and want to afford it.

More pictures to come, but release-dates, pricing and such are not going to be publised without speaking to the admins first.

I just made the picture yesterday-evening and wanted to share my joy

Most odd... my ublox module have turned intp a carpc

Looks nice though... a bit too big for my taste.
How will you handle the long VGA signals ? (assuming it'll be mounted in the trunk)

Don't get the ublox comment...? I searched google images for ublox but didn't see anything that looked like it.

As for the VGA signals, there doesn't seem to be a problem when using about 5 meters of cable. Which should do in most cases. Testing will show where's the limits...

Hopefully with the nano-itx boards coming available we'll be able to develop a smaller version!

Specs for the prototype aren't final yet, and pricing will be somewhere around 3k euro for a complete package: carpc, screen, operating system and front-end with navigation... Not sure what options will be included for that price and even if it's going to be around 3k. Just a guess.

The technical part is one thing, organisation, marketing, etc.. need to be done soon!

3K euro? wow... that's crazy.. that's about $3,500USD... probably worth it but I dunno who can just buy a system like that for their car

Well, it's only an estimate... and I think there will be a demand, just can't say how much of a demand.

Is it worth it? That's decided upon by the buyer, so I'll wait and see...

Thanks for the comments guys!
