Yes, a custom built carPC is definitely a valid option to consider. I think it is a little naive to think that everyone who is considering the ipad is a brainwashed hipster.
I think it comes down to what meets peoples needs. Take me for example, I could easily build a custom carPC and install it. On top of that I could easily write my own custom front end, visualizers or any other software I want for it as well. Just because I can do that doesn't mean I want to or need to. I need a device that can meet the following needs. The iPad does all of the following good enough. Uses a very nice touch screen. Boots up fast Can play audio and video easily Can access Internet to check work emails through exhange Has GPS navigation capabilities. Does not require a lot of my time to keep running Has a known interface that my passengers know how to use Allows me to program for if I want to Features I don't care about Satellite radio DVD playback (physical media is on it's way out) I don't think anyone is saying that the iPad is the ultimate car media solution and all others suck.
