Karputer ICEPAC2 – serious computing for your car

Let’s get the acronym out of the way – In Car Entertainment Personal Automobile Computer – ICEPAC, get it? It’s designed to replace your stereo head-end in a standard DIN slot, and it’s a full-fledged computer: 1Ghz cpu, 256 MB memory, 40GB hard drive, DVD/CD-RW drive and 7-inch touchscreen LCD display. (The motorized LCD display requires a second DIN slot in your dash.) The cool new feature of the ICEPAC2 is the PlayNOW software, that lets you load and play a CD or DVD without booting up Windows (and we all know how longthat can take). Of course, the computer integrates a lot of other functionality, including MP3 playback/recording, high-end GPS navigation, WiFi, bluetooth, and of course, anything you can do on your laptop or desktop. Would have been killer in one of George Barris’ Kustom Kars… [ViaCarHacks]
