GnatGoSplat Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Cool! That knob on the upper left looks kind of weird though. Also no mention if it includes a built-in AM/FM tuner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Klaus Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 AutoWeek Compute This Azentek squeezes a fully functional computer in your dash By BOB GRITZINGER 6:00 am, November 13, 2006 Azentek’s Atlas CPC-1000 is the size of a typical seven-inch navigation screen. It takes up the same in-dash depth as a standard car audio system, too. But packed into that space is a fully functional personal computer; it’s a device that replaces systems for navigation, audio, video, communications and e-mail, with engine- and car-performance monitoring in one compact box. Wowzers. Hook up peripherals like a keyboard and a mouse and you can run an entire office from the driver’s seat. Though most functions are suspended when driving, the Atlas CPC-1000 allows for, among other computing functions, real-time e-mail via voice-recognition software. It can store and run music and movies for the entire car or each passenger separately. The coolest feature: Built-in software to record 0-to-60-mph and quarter-mile times. Atlas, running Microsoft’s next-gen operating system Windows Vista, goes on sale next spring for about $2,000, installed.

Sempuukyaku Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Just wanted to bump this thread, as I'm wondering if anyone has picked this up yet. It's either out already or will be available VERY soon. One thing about this unit I found out about is, it doesn't have REAL iPod control. It's a pc, so if you want iPod control you need to load iTunes onto it like you would a regular pc and then control it like that. Kinda weak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beep13 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Unfortunately the unit will not be available unit late October, Early November. I have also been looking into this unit. Sounds pretty sweet, but a hefty $2400 price tag, and thats for the base model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
