Well my cousin is using one of these in a home theator build that's he's doing right now:

This connects to a WinXP Pro machine through wifi and uses remote desktop to control the WinXP Pro machine. I played around with the unit and it was very nice. He has it running some HTPC frontend software-I think it was called Main Lobby? Thought this was similar enough to what we're doing in the cars to be of interest to somebody around here.

So how could this be useful in a car?

To use this in any reasonable way you would have to put 1 regular computer in and have this dumb terminal connect to it through WiFi rather then just hooking up a regular cheaper monitor.

I thought that there might be some potential for someone with the right system. Maybe they'd like to have the rear passengers beable to control the system, surf the internet or watch a movie-just pass the screen to the back seat. The screen has a built in OSK which was pretty cool. Maybe the thing could be modified to be used as a regular vga monitor/touch screen-I couldn't do it but maybe someone on the forum could get it done. As for being more expensive-it's what $70 more than a 7" Lilliput for a 10" screen made by a major manufacturer.

pretty cool...would be very handy for tailgating
