Here is a new little vHack I've been working on, which I call the carPod. It's a glorified version of the iPod, built for a car. I hope to have a spoof website (featured after Apple's site) put together in the near future. Feedback appreciated.

http://homepage.mac.com/captainz/carPod.jpg

Features:

* Slot loading CD drive - to play your favorite CD's not in encoded yet. Have an MP3 CD? No problem, with the onboard decoder.

* 40GB ATA HD - 8,000 songs in your car.

* Onboard FireWire Uplink - Have an iPod with songs, and want to add some to your carPod library? Not a problem since you can connect the iPod to the carPod, and using the carPod Manager Utility, transfer select playlists to/from your carPod to your iPod. Also serves as an iPod charging dock.

* Onboard MP3 Encoding Technology - On the go, but have CD's of music to rip to your iPod? The carPod will automaticly download all music tracks and convert them into MP3 files in a new playlist on the carPod, within a few touches.

* One Touch Equalizer - Rather than fiddle with menus and buttons to get to your equalizer settings, the "EQ" button will quickly cycle through built in Equalizer Presets.

* Optional Airport Capabilities - using modified Rendezvous technology, your carPod can interface with your inhouse network Airport Base Station** and transfer select playlists between the carPod and your home system.

** Airport Base Station sold seperately

A man can dream... can't he?

There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.
