What do you use your CarPC mostly for?
Just want to see what do people actually use it for, is it just music? videos? or is there something else to it.

I use it to do al sorts of stuff. Personaly i like to be able to read my email and check upp on internett sites and services on the run. Need to transfer an ammount of monney! no problem. just let me boot upp my car :P And its funn to play games with friends when it gets boring. But mostly it plays music. The kids like to watch movies in the back seat tho. Oh. Another usage i just implemented is a VOIP between cars. Like the walkietalkie we oldskoolers surely remember. 2 cars in adhock with a voice application on longer trips were 2 cars are on its way to a carshow or something. Almost forgot the fax part. and the telnet part. Telnet is usefull to quicly be able to reprogram a router or switch from annywhere in the world (or from anny road as we would say in this forum).
For me... The nice thing with a carputer is all the thing i can do on it that can't be done from a clean inncar DVD player and an inncar GPS unit. And the fact that it does all sorts of thing on one monitor if you wish. No need for multiple units all ower the car.
If i only wanted MP3 and navigation. I would have bought a 1DIN HD based MP3 player with WiFi on it. And a GPS unit (as then i spare instalation time and a long boot time everytime i wants to use it.)
