iPods and Macs taking over cars
Woops, I take my "Macs aren't going
anywhere" post back, as they're certainly going one place in a big way lately: cars. I have a double
dose of iPod/Mac in-car news coming at you from our sibling site, Autoblog. First up: they caught wind of a projection
from the Telematics Research Group that by 2011, 73 million cars on
the road could have iPod integration. I'm no professional, but I'll toss my own prediction into the hat: by 2011, a lot
of un-burned blank CD's are going to be lying around.Next on the list is probably the slickest "Mac mini in a car" setup I have seen to date. As if one Mac mini feeding two screens in a 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport isn't enough, the creator is also using a Palm Treo 650 and Salling Clicker to run the setup, as well as Rsync X and an AirPort network to keep the mini's library in tune with a PowerMac G5 in the house. Oh yea, how could I forget the Mac mini also seems to be running Front Row? Maybe that's why this setup wasn't featured on that new "Big Ideas" page Apple just put up.
