The issue is actually that a lot of people consider this as another possibility for a CarPC system, while a few other people that are not interested are trying to convince them it is not a big deal.
Considering how much of a niche market this is, any new development is a big deal, just because you don't think Apple has good products overall, does not change the fact that this is a new and viable option for a carputer.
Red GTi VR6 addressed some of your other whining so I will add just one more thing. If you don't think it's great or interesting, good for you. You don't want this in your car, good for you too. You say you don't care about this new computer... fine, but why spend so much time telling everyone how much you don't care? If you can practically summarize what you see as pros and cons, go for it, it will put some perspective as to how usable this new computer can be. But then I am afraid your bias might prevent you from doing that. So may be you should just leave the topic to people that can have a balanced input, that way you will prove how much you don't care by actually NOT caring. And the rest of us won't have to read another Apple bashing post.
