Apple is about to release the iPad. My initial impression was that I did not need one but now I am thinking they may be a great alternative to a traditional car-puter.

What are your thoughts on using an iPad instead of a traditional car computer? The current pros I can think of are.

* Great interface
* Decent battery life
* Nice 10' Touch Screen
* 3g internet in your car
* Integrated wireless support
* MP3 support
* Syncs with your existing iTunes library
* Nav support via Applications
* You could write your own applications
* Can serve double duty
* Probably less of a hassle to install instead of a fully functional car computer setup.
* May be cheaper than a normal car computer setup
