I was looking at a couple of these on ebay with a 10inch screen, tv tuner , and the ability to plug in a usb memory stick !!

Now I got to thinking.........could you say have Tom Tom installed on a memory stick and be able to run it on the dvd player ????

Or installed on a DVD and run it on the same player ????
Now that would be a good setup if it could happen !!......run a Tom Tom type program while your driving and then watch a movie when your camped !!!!!

Then have a slide night and show off your pictures as well !!!

Or am I dreaming ????

The tom tom has a hardware side to it not just software (mapping) ! Its the same as putting magellan software on and expecting it to work on dvd player.....

Why not just stay at home because you aint got no time to enjoy your camping experience lol

Software is "information on a disc"
Hardware is the thing (machine) that runs it, or helps it run.

It's just a matter of time. Eventually the mobile phone will do the lot... but maybe it won't look like a mobile phone any more... maybe it will be a clear bit of plastic you spread over part of the windscreen.... with a holographic beauty asking "where do you want to go? What do you want to see? Who do you want to talk to? Do you want fries with that?"

or a chip will be inserted into the brain, and you will be access info remotely by thinking about it! Imagine thinking, 'I need to get from a to b', and all of a sudden the info is brought to mind just as if you actually knew the answer......scary
