Optimus Mini 3.0, great for CarPC’s?

Engadget is reporting Art Lebedev are working on the Optimus Mini 3.0 which may include a touchscreen and wireless bluetooth.

Anyone thinking what I’m thinking? This would be sweet to stick on the dash of your car to use as an input device. It may require AC power though.

CarPC’s have been a hot topic here lately. Steve ‘Chippy’ Paine just put up a short video on his UMPC moblog site showing how you can have a 15 hr CarPC/desktop PC using the Everun, Car dock, Samsung Q1 USB keyboard, and a Tekkeon MP3400 external battery. Well, I have 2/4 items.. Looks to be a nice solution if you want to mount the Everun on to the windshield or a flat surfaced dash.

Here’s my mounting solution for the Fujitsu U810 using a ProClip vehicle mount and a RAM Mount cradle.

I mentioned it in a blog post.

Here’s a quick video of the install. While I was setting up for this video, FedEx came again and dropped off the GorillaPod for SLR sized cameras. I stuck the Aiptek A-HD to it right away and used it in part of the video.
That’s why there’s so much noise. The GorillaPod is stiff, which is good, but it cause a lot of noise while bending the joints.
