The 7" tablet just fits perfect. I just haven't settled on one yet. The Kindle Fire is a strong contender, but a quad core is in the works. Whatever it is, it will be rooted and wiped clean first.
you wanna make sure you can read the screen when sun in shining on it. At home you can move it and rotate it so you can see under almost all conditions. In your car thats usually not possible.

I read in some Linux car PC project that you want to lok for a "transflective " screen so you can read in the sun. But I have found only extremely expensive versions of like $700 and up...

any ideas on that?
