So what about using a tablet instead of a custom in car pc.

Has touch screen, solid state storage, suitable sized screen.

Thinking a 7" in landscape be comparable to many of these
double din sized ice heads, viable weight for a mount either
clipped to vents or on to screen. Maybe a 10" screen would
be bit big atleast on terrano dash.

Memory good for mp3s into head unit, sat nav as many have
e-compass, giro unit for inclinometer.

So any recommenations for make/model? thinking blackberry
64gb at £129 has to be a bargain, pity not android though
still good range of apps on bb os.
 
Will BB run memory maps? 7" is the biggest you can have legally I think if the driver can see it.
Top idea and getting very popular. Plenty of incar holders available too :D

hi i use my asus transformer TF300 has 10.1" screen and will run for 8hrs with just screen but with the keyboard runs for bout 15-20hrs has built in gps and runs memory map like a dream infact im using it now, i dont touch my windows laptop anymore android tablets rule:thumbs
 
got hint on bb/rim site theres a feature of bb os called runtime, an android
emulator which can play A2.3 stuff, checked MM site says needs 2.2 +

Looking at other Android 7"s theres nothing with spec even close, even
down to say 8gb storage.

Forget to say BB PB has front and rear cameras so could record road trips
too, that 64gb sure does beckon. Also has gps, gyro built in and bluetooth
ok some of cheaper Android pads have usb so could add these things but
neater built in.
