Car-PC : An introduction (Car-PC : Computer for the car)
In principle a car computer is nothing else than the PC you have sitting on your desktop at home. Maybe a bit more compact, needs lesser power and has some partially customized components.
But below the line, a Car-PC is a fully-fledged PC.
Multimedia
Because of the open and many-sided PC-platform, every format and multimeda-based content is open for your viewing :
- Video (DVD, Divx, XVid, ...)
- Music (MP3)
- TV (DVB-T)
Navigation
Todays Car-PCs are reflecting state-of-the-art features, when it goes into navigation !
- Easy, speech-based navigation
- TMC-support (dynamic routing around traffic jams)
- Map support for the whole world
And because the maps are saved on the harddisk, you do not have to reload. Navigate in "one piece" from Berlin to Lissabon !
Internet
With a Car-PC going online is easy, flexible and affordable :
- Bluetooth-interface to the cell phone
- WirelessLAN (free Hotspots !)
- GRPS/UMTS
And this is also possible in your accustomed Explorer/Outlook-environment.
Office
With a Car-PC, your office is always around you.
- Electronical GPS-based drivers log
- Word/Excel/...
EVERY PC-compatible programs can be used !
The data synchronization can be handled comfortable by USB, WLAN, DVD,...
Offene Plattform
A Car-PC is a REAL PC :
- Software can be installed/customized
- Memory, Harddrive, CPU,... upgradable
- Take other or additional TFT Displays
And of course you have all the familar interfaces like USB, Firewire, Drucker, COM,...
Lifestyle
Last but not least, a Car-PC means Lifestyle.
Do not allow anyone to dictate you what to use in your car. Create your mobile system as YOU want it !
