yea i only use it when im setting up a navigation point and typine in an address so it can find it. . ..exactly. . i use the keyboard when im standing still

yea, that does make more sense. I guess it would be best to have the wireless and just put the keyboard in the front seat. using the monitor to type would be a bitch. Whats the resolution and how does it read? What would you guys recommend as in screen size?

there is also a company that makes keyboards that roll up... its not wireless but since it rolls up you could just stick it under the seat. cant remember hte company but its on thinkgeek.com

those roll up keyboards suck. . .since you need a hard flat surface to lay them on in order to type. . .i used to use that just because i had on lying around. . that was the firstr thing to go. . .


as for the monitor is use a 7 in widescreen
it is readable in pretty much ever resolution i use . . .but that is only because i spent the extra money to get a vga version of it. . .the text is crisp (albeit really small at 1600x1200 on a 7in screen) but it is readable

for normal useage i usually do 800x600 or 640x480 depending on which winamp fulscreen skin i use
