Macs and iPods in cars

Macs and iPods in carsWoops, I take my "Macs aren’t going
anywhere
" post back, as they’re certainly going one place in a big way lately: cars. I  have a double dose of iPod/Mac in-car news coming at you from our sibling site, Autoblog. First up: they caught wind of a projection from the Telematics Research Group that by 2011, 73 million cars on the road could have iPod integration. I’m no professional, but I’ll toss my own prediction into the hat: by 2011, a lot of un-burned blank CD’s are going to be lying around.

Next on the list is probably the slickest "Mac mini in a car" setup I have seen to date. As if one Mac mini feeding two screens in a 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport isn’t enough, the creator is also using a Palm Treo 650 and Salling Clicker to run the setup, as well as Rsync X and an AirPort network to keep the mini’s library in tune with a PowerMac G5 in the house.

Who will get computers in fast cars sooner, the car companies or the fast car drivers?…
