I gave some thought to doing this. But only briefly. If you have a carputer, you're most likely going to have a 7" touchscreen monitor mounted in the dash. Kinda like the Touch, except bigger. Most mini-ITX motherboards that you'd use to build the computer have onboard audio. Add SqueezePlay software and you have everything you need to emulate the Touch on the computer that's in the car. For better sound quality you can even use an outboard DAC fed either by USB or optical S/PDIF, which can also be found on many mini-ITX motherboards. It's fairly straightforward to take the template for the Touch's 480 x 272 screen and adapt it to fit the 800 x 480 resolution of 7" car touchscreens. Then you have a full-screen touch interface that's larger than that on the Touch and easier to both see and control in a moving car. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93228 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
