So where were we?
Ah yes. Several factors had been weighing on my mind in making this decision. I had the following goals:
1) Get the most functionality.
2) Spend the least amount of money.
3) Not make any drastic changes to the interior of my car.
Part of goal number 3 has to do with an on-going uncertainty about how long I’m going to be keeping this car. Also I didn’t want to do anything too hard.
Well, I ended up giving in a bit on #2. So I got one of these:
It’s an HP hx4700 PocketPC. The important features are: Dual card slots (CF+SD), VGA 4 inch screen (with landscape support), 625mhz Xscale CPU, 192MB memory, and built-in WiFi and Bluetooth.
Also, it fits perfectly in the spot where my center vents used to be.
I also picked up:
A 4GB Hitachi MicroDrive - an itty bitty hard drive (like the one in the iPod Mini or Zen Micro) that fits in a CF slot.
Another 1GB SD card.
A DC power (cig lighter connection) to USB adapter.
