AppleTV as in-car nav & entertainment system

IncarappletvWhile some of us have been busy mounting UMPCs in our vehicles, one enterprising AppleTV owner decided to take his shows on the road. Literally. Brandon Holland deftly inserted an AppleTV into his 1990 Eagle Talon, which wirelessly synchs via iTunes and WiFi while he sits in the driveway. There’s some video cable conversion magic going on under the dashboard so he can watch Seinfeld re-runs on a mounted 7-inch LCD monitor and he’s even written an AppleTV plugin to use a USB GPS device for navigation. Now I see why Steve Jobs calls AppleTV "a hobby". ;)
