Busy last few days researching stuff...

Whew.

Think I am leaning toward the iPAQ now as a controller. The libretto though having a larger screen is not touch-screen, and I think the iPAQ is significantly brighter.

Took measurements of dash <pic soon>.
Did a whack of researching on mounts and the like @ www.gpscity.ca; awesome selection of stuff, think I want a 9'' flex arm, but base size is proving difficult.
Removed factory head unit <too easy>
Mocked-up cockpit with factory HU and libretto and iPAQ; determined where I want to place either (or any unit) <pics soon>
Mocked-up cockpit with existing CQ-C3300U and libretto then ipaq <pics soon>
Read more on how to get iPAQ to terminal service into trunk "big box"
Read more on how to get 2 pcs with wireless cards to talk directly to each other without a router/AP
Trying to find free hack to rotate screen on iPAQ, and figure out how to best skin it for auto use...
