Some friends have been asking me if the iPad could eventually replace my custom made Linux multimedia car system.
I reckon that the screen is nice an all, but can the iPad …
- Take Skype phone calls
- Automatically pause live radio (not just mute) when a call comes in
- Update the twitter account @linuxcar with what ever it is doing
- Bring up my current location on Google maps
- Update my current location on the web
- Allow free WiFi in the car
- Allow any other web devices in the neighborhood to control the multimedia
- Allow for a remote system to use the web interface
… all at the same time? No? Well, there is your answer.
Now, an Android based system like this might do it…
