MacMini in a car!

Apple should team up with Alpine or somebody else to create the real thing. A dock for the Mac mini (so you can actually also use the computer at home, at the office etc.) in the glove department with a special (but beautiful) user interface on a touchscreen. Keep it simple.

I was also thinking about the idea of a dock. Not just for cars but also for home. I bring my mini to work sometimes and it's a pain to fish all the cables from behind my G4 that fall after I unplug it.

They used to have the DuoDock laptops, wonder if they are scared of the dock idea now.

The heat and theft (part of it) may be solved by the elegant design of the system. Since the i/o cables are pretty much attached to the back of the MiniMac in a non-permanent manner, the system can be removed in summer heat or winter cold. A really neat modification of this design would allow for the MiniMac to be inserted into the glovebox holder like an iPod into a dock (easy in/easy out).
Still, this is a fantastic design.
