Just for pandora. I don’t know what the hell I was doing, but I finally got on it and boy is it great! I just wish I could have it in my car ---

With the new Atom processor, they are making computers a lot smaller now. I was reading on engadget about a company designing them for cars a month ago… so, maybe you will have one soon enough 🙂 ---

yea the iphone is probably the easiest way to do so. well cheapest too carputer you are still going to need a broadband wireless connection, where service of such would suck balls depending on where you are… AT&T cell service would probably work much better for you ---

I noticed that Edge works great while stationary but if I’m riding shotgun and trying to browse the internet on the phone, it’s hit or miss a lot or times (even with full bars). ---

Much better than what you would get with a wireless broadband connection… although the functionality would be greatly increased with the computer… but at the higher cost and most likely less reliable, on road trips [Dell mini 9](http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/inspnnb/topics/en/us/laptop-inspiron-meetthemini9?c=us&l=en&s=dhs) - 300-500 [coverage area](http://b2b.vzw.com/broadband/coveragearea.html) 5gb monthly allowance - 60 a month. Iphone 200 (with contract) + 125 a month after taxes, and it covers your cellphone cost and has a decent amount of functionality. mounting = 30 bucks tops. Carputer will be a project or cost more than the iphone > [@BuickGN](#): > > do u use a jack for it? > > or a cable or something to get it working all you need is a stereo out (microphone jack on the iphone and plug that right in the aux input on the car) ---
