I'm thinking, if you have some fabrication skills, it might be about the same price as installing a Double Din, but ten times cooler.

Only trouble with this is it is WiFi only until the next release with 3G, so all the apps that use network connectivity wouldn't work unless you borrowed WiFi from somewhere, so it would be pointless to replace your Radio if you can't use it with Pandora or Itunes. Well I guess you could use Itunes without WiFi, that's cool, but I still would want some sort of outside Music source from somewhere.

I've never really been into electronics in my car and stuff like that. Usually just leave it stock. But that is one of the coolest things I've seen. If like the guy said above, you waited for 3G. . . Man that would be the ****!!!!!

I considered this until the specs came out:
Glossy screen = car fail
No (real) GPS = navigation fail
No external storage = number of songs/videos fail
Additional $30/mo for internet on it = I'm not paying for the internet three times fail
No "standard" phone functionality = Bluetooth fail
No FM radio = broadcast fail
No AM radio = talk radio fail
No steering wheel interface = convenience fail
Locked to AppStore = open platform fail
Only syncs with iTunes = iTunes sucks
