IcePac2 In-car PC
IcePac2 In-car PC: an in-dash car computer. I think this is a cool idea, but I'm a super-geek! A notebook computer maybe more practical for you non super-geek's.
The cool factor is the smooth motorized High Resolution 1600×1200 XGA In-Dash TFT LCD touch screen. Both 16:9 and 4:3 picture formats are supported, along with support for NTSC/PAL/SECAM Auto switching on the 2 RCA video inputs.
Introducing the ICEPAC2! With a new smaller case that makes mounting of the unit in the DIN slot much more practical. Essentially the same as the orginal ICEPAC. What sets this new system apart is the development of the PlayNOW BIOS. PlayNOW enables you to utilse features like CD and DVD playback without the need to load the WindowsXP operating system.
If all you want is multimedia the ICEPAC does it all, CD and DVD playback comes as standard on all modern PC's and only a PC has the ability to playback and record virtually every audio & video media format around. You can fit a staggering 4 weeks worth of Mp3's on the standard ICEPAC 40Gb hard drive! Why not upgrade to 100Gb and sqeeze 2 months worth of music in it?
But with all that spare processing power why not do something a little more useful with the ICEPAC? With the inclusion of a GPS antenna and some GPS software you can have the best sat-nav system around. With a postcode and map database unrivalled by any other consumer sat-nav system.
Step back a minute and look at what th Personal Computer was invented for in the first place, aside from being a damn good calculator. It's a business tool too! You can have all the word-processing, spreadsheet manipulating, internet browsing capabilites you find in your office or home but you can have them on the move. Collect your emails while your stuck in traffic, hold a video-conference from the side of the road, mountain or ocean.
