Will The Mac Mini Change The World ? ...

[HitchhikingGhost]

Probably Not ... But it WILL Make A Great Car Stereo Or Multimedia Center.
With An 80 Gig Max capacity (Laptop Drive) and a 1 Gig Max memory... What Else Can Ya Do With It ? ...
I Wont Be Photoshopping With It or Mixing Audio ... Thats For Sure
But With A 7 Inch Touch Screen ... It Will Maks A great iTunes Jukebox For My Car Or Explorer ... Playing Avi's... or games on Long Trips Wont be A problem Any More... Even Surfing The Net.

This May Be A Great Mutli Media System.
Lets See What Kind Of Accesories Come Out In The Next Few Months.

You'll do fine photoshopping on it with maxed out RAM, but still, people are peeing their pants about the idea of hooking up to their cars/sound systems, wouldn't be surprised if there will be a Mac mini TV tuner out soon.

It'd make a good MP3 player, about all it's good for!:devil:

PCs have been in cars for a while now...it's about time macs started to.

This one is made to fit into a standard DIN slot in your dash...but i've seen countless others the go under the seat and hook up to your in dash/headrest LCDs...

How about a budget render farm for the home animator using Mac Mini's?

The link did not get posted. Would you try posting it again please? I know my brother would totally love to have a mac mini in his car. Could this application also be used for Powerbooks as well as Mac Minis?

Funny, the link is gone, and I can't find it. When I do, I'll post it here.
