Managing Music in your car from a touchscreen
« on: February 08, 2004, 08:27:25 pm »

I thought many of you might be interested in some of the things Cinemar is working on for the automotive market:

Will this be available as a package to just install in the car?  computer and all?   How well will it deal with cold climates?

It will definitely be available as a a complete package from our partner distributors.

We are considering selling the software w/o hardware to the DIYers out there but that has yet to be finalized.

I imagine certain computers will deal with heat/cold differently.  I'll try to wrestle up some specs based on the current system we are beta testing with.  They are supposed to handle extreme weather but to what degree I don't have an actual temperature range.

My computer been on outside for the past week. No problems!
Maxtor HDs are really good too. 3.5 years of my crazy driving and MN winters. Hasn't died yet.

Also that looks cool but I'm happy (well sorta I guess) with MC10. It needs some work dealing with small res's.

I may have to get a closer look at this sometime.
