As a bit of a CarPC enthusiast, I am interested to see how long this holds up. I have fabricated my own touchscreen into my car and did all the work to make it look as factory as possible, however it takes a lot of time to make sure that everything holds together. Honestly, from the clips they showed, it really doesn't seem that the iPad was made to stick in there if the roads got a bit turbulent. I have seen people's touchscreens fall out from not being properly secured into the dashboard (including my own from a particularly rough driving experience...)
Ultimately, I think it's pretty cool but the iPad interface is not a very safe one to use while driving. This is why I always, always, always install a dashboard frontend like Centrafuse or RoadRunner on mine to make navigation simple.
Aside from all that stuff, I am pretty curious to see a) how the iPad holds up on the car battery, and b) how well the screen illuminates during sunlight. Both of which are always interesting problems to work through when building your own CarPC.
