A PC in your car: Carputer

Travelling has become a harrowing experience and a significant amount of our productive hours are spent on the road stuck up in traffic but what if we could make a productive use of this time. What if we have a PC in your car.

A 'Car PC' has been designed by iWave by using a motherboard developed with Qseven technology and Intel Atom processorThis 'Car PC' can be embedded into the headrest behind the driver's seat.
The size of the PC makes it easy for car manufacturers and those providing cab services to incorporate seamlessly into the vehicle, without any alteration to the design. The PC runs at 1.1 or 1.6 GHz speed using sub 10 watts of power, one sixth of the power required to run normal PCs.

With two USB ports on the driver's side, it is also possible for passengers to use 3-G wireless broadband to stay connected. "People have problems using laptops since they are concerned about its battery life," Saliya said. "Since the Car PC uses minimum power drawn from the car battery, they can be assured of connectivity until they reach their destination."

The company hopes to make the 'Car PC' available at the car accessories stores by the second quarter of 2010. "This product is specifically designed for markets like India, Latin America, China and Africa and we look forward to target the cab agencies in these places," says Saliya. The price tag for the 'Car PC' has not been decided yet.


So the next time you are wondering what to do while waiting for the traffic on the road to move, it's time to switch on the 'Car PC' and start browsing through your mails and stay updated.
