Wifi Car Radio
It’s about time. There are quite a few grass-roots projects that put a PC in your car to play MP3s. They all rely on you bringing some physical media out to the car to load new material into the player. I’ve had a vision for quite a while now of just such a car-based MP3 player, but one that could connect wirelessly to your main computer while the car is parked in the garage. Imagine your home computer downloading the latest podcasts during the night and automatically loading them into your car. You go out to the car in the morning, turn on the radio, and instead of being stuck listening to some obnoxious DJ, you hear your favorite shows.
The Omnifi DMP1 brings all that functionality to a commercial product. You can load content into its 20-GB hard drive using either USB or wifi, or you can slide the whole drive out and bring it inside. The main unit mounts out of the way while a thin radio-size controller mounts on (or in) your dash. I want one.
