Default Carputer Software?

Kinda curious to those that have Carputer set-ups, what software are you running and how do you like it. Cuz I ran across a few.... Neocar media, Windows Media center, Imobile. Not sure what I really think of each, some of the GUI suck but I haven't been able to get hands on with the carputer specific software. Lemme know what you think

My winter project is the mac mini install:

- Mac mini (probably mounted under one of the front seats
- CarNetix CNX-P1900 for power (probably wired into the unlock and lock so the mac is fired up and running upon entry
- Liliput touch Screen LCD
- External powered USB and Firewire hub
- External housing for a laptop DVD/CD drive (very thin) installed probably in the little housing area above teh gear shift
- Cordless thumb keypad (for text entry)
- USB GPS puck
- Verizon cellphone drop in custom holder for 100+ kbs internet access (for just the minutes)
- Some sort of amp setup with a front rear split and multiple in's so I can have a 1/2 DIN dvd player installed facing the backseats in the arm rest which will power the rear headrest LCD's whilst the front can be used for music (itunes library), internet, GPS Nav, whatever.

My plan is to have the whole thing setup and running 'in-house' and then do the install, I'd say I'm half way there, just need the mac-mini and the power supply.

Oh sorry none of this answers your question.
