Hmmm. I followed one of those links to a AutoPC software review site. It listed two pieces of vaporware, and one real piece of software which couldn't play CD-quality- it only worked in mono.

What I find most surprising about this whole thing is that products such as the Empeg and the Rio were announced or available before the AutoPC hit the market. When I first saw the AutoPC in the Crutchfield catalog, the very first thing which sprang to mind was that its CD-ROM drive would make it an ideal car MP3 player. So why didn't Clarion fit this thing with a processor powerful enough to handle the job? It's not like decent CPU's are expensive or anything.

It just seems funny that they'd launch a product intended to be an in-car computer, then cripple it with limited computing ability. Terribly shortsighted, if you ask me.
