You're very welcome. So far, it has really impressed me, however, I'm more interested to see how robust it is. How is car vibration going to effect it. I'm also a bit concerned about their tech support/design guys. Some of the units (mine included) are dim. personally, since there isn't brightness control, prefer it so it doesn't blind me at night. From what I gather on their forums, they are aware of it and when asked to add brightness control to their software, the response was basically "thank you very much". At least they did respond I guess. Now for what the Imon has going for it. I only mentioned SD, but for RR it would even be better.

It can have graphic equalizer/music readout for winamp (no good on SD)
Checks and scrolls news and weather (interval checks/cities worldwide can be set)
Can be set up for multiple programs
IR media center remote capable (can use either the imon or MCE remote)
Has clock readout when computer goes into hibernate. Shuts off automatically (not sure how long)
Monitors and scrolls system information, fonts/size/and scrolling are all editable
Has autolaunch button
readout can be set/changed by holding down the volume knob

A lot more, but I'm still learning it. I posted on their forums that there were a couple of us over here testing their product in a car, so they might want to start investigating the market. Would love to see them come out with a double din version with more buttons!
