I think that would be great, but I don't think you're likely to see one for at least a year, and even then it'll be priced such that a hard drive solution will make more sense. This is because in car stuff always lags behind desktop stuff, and costs twice as much. Could be wrong (hope I am), but we'll see. -- Grunff
