Interesting.. sounds like GM might be partnering up with google to put android systems in new cars from the factory!

Well, some considerable research and nearly 20G in downloads and playing with different softwares and I can now say tomtom can byte my bumper! I can't run TTS with my Navigator 7, there is no later version that allows it. It won't run at 800*480 and only on WM not WinCE. (unless I use cracked, hacked and slashed versions) They don't seem to give a rats about PDA's now. From now on I'll buy iGO8 software and devices, once the tomtom dies or the maps become too outdated.
Talking about iGO8, now there's a nice piece of kit! versions for ARM and x86. skinnable and just fantastic to use. Out with the ARM idea, I'm back to my original plan of using x86!
Anyone know of a skinnable dashboard for OBD2? Something that will run fullscreen on second and third screens.
