I am toying with the idea of a CarPC, for my Taco When it grows up! The only problem is that the PC platform is about 3 years ahead of the CarMac. There are a few CarMac's out there using the Mac Mini. The biggest is the lack of basic car related software for OS X. The PC platform has a several year head start on the Mac and its larger market share will always mean that it has a more complete software suite than the Macintosh. This is particularly evident in the GPS arena with Route 66 as the only current Mac friendly navigation software.
Other software that is lacking is an integrated front end, a program the pulls control of the various functions together into a touch-screen friendly format that makes control easy and safe while on the go.
Maybe I'll just have to wait... But on the other hand all I own is PC's no MAC's
At least Garmin is helping out the Mac owners, and going a step in the right direction... may be a little late though!
