this is very cool.....could this be the future for Head Units??

It actually looks better, when its mocked up, than I thought. Is it able to sound as good as a dedicated audio unit though?

Looks pretty cool. DEFINITELY need an anti-glare screen protector.... It'll help with greasy finger syndrome too :p

knew it would happen but didn't realize it would happen this quick. nice, the bit-one is an amazing processor too

now somebody buy an ipad and let me install it in their z

This is one killer Amp……OK, who is going to bash Mcintosh?

its definately a sexy amp but for 2 grand I could think of a ton of other amps Id run

I have auditioned them and they arent any better than a JL HD or PG Z series. Your paying all that extra money for that extra 5% nth degree of cleanliness that honestly I didnt notice. I felt the amp was a little soft on the bass but that could have been more of a character of the speakers. Your truly paying for the name!

looks nice, but only useful if you have 3g internet with it IMO

also, i question how well you will see the screen in bright sun, the reflections would drive me nuts, especially when its off

and thieves broke into my g35 for a 199$ GPS unit...... unless you have a clever way if hiding this, expect the same fate

So how do you sync the iPad with any other device that contains all your media? I hope it has a quick release. And I agree...not having 3G is a huge FAIL. Makes it useless unless you park in front of a Starbucks.

Well I thought that is where all Apple users spend all their time? :ugh2:
The idea of this is good in concept, but will not work overall. It has a pretty screen and runs a nice UI, but beyond that it is very limited and you could easily achieve the same idea cheaper, with more functionality.

All in all, the ideas pretty sick...i mean you pretty much have a mobile...everything in one place...and if you did get the 3G version..hold the phone, because all you really need are toilets in the seats and your set! :driving:

Late to the party but looks nice.

I want to see an HP Slate in a dash.

I agree, thinking about taking the dash apart just to do an upgrade or to sync music is impractical in my opinion. Me I would stick with a double din an a 160gb ipod. Not to mention what if you buy a cd.
