Put that Apple TV in your car

Over at AutoBlog, John Neff writes about why you should put Apple TV into your car. He has a point. Plug it in and you go straight into the Front Row interface. You don't have to log in, you don't need a keyboard, you don't need a mouse. Its small form factor means that it's even easier to embed than a Mini and with its built-in WiFi you can probably sync from your garage. What more could one ask for?

Just what we need: more a-holes watching TV when they're supposed to be watching the road.

If it had a DVD player it'd work for me... A browser would be nice too, seeing as it has all that handy dandy wifi waiting to be used, but I could live without that. I just don't see the purpose of it because I'd need to have a DVD player hooked up as well.

Apple TV has HDMI and Component output - what exactly are you going to hook it up to in a car

most automotive screens are composite or vga input

I don't know...would watching the road rather than AppleTV while driving be too much to ask?

I don't get why you would do this. Just using a video iPod is so much easier. Ok, sure, the geek factor. But the video iPod has every advantage. No power supply necessary. Smaller. Bigger hard drive. Easier to sync - wifi is slower and less reliable and more annoying when it's in your car. And you can take the iPod with you.

Could you maybe link to the blog post you are talking about instead of some random comment after the post?
