All-in-one dashboard PC

And here we thought the sun-visor theater was a bad idea. As if we don't have enough traffic problems already, SNT Korea has developed a dashboard PC that runs Windows XP to divert our attention from the road too. The touch-screen unit can be used for everything from GPS navigation to live TV, which Newlaunches says can be recorded on a built-in hard drive that can be transferred to a disc later. Claiming "broadband-like" speeds, the in-dash computer will also work with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to set up a mobile office. We pray that drivers won't be working on Excel spreadsheets while on the road.

You say you are against gadgets like this, and I agree with you. In effect, you are advertising the thing, and why you do that is beyond me. If you don't want people to buy it and use it, keep quiet about it. Duh!

Dc3400,

How I wish everyone shared our opinons. But I'm willing to guess that there are more than a few Crave readers who think this product is the best thing since sliced bread.
