I wish I could get a car with a place to securely mount an iPad or Android tablet and supply power to it. They could leave out the stereo, mapping, and big display and let me use whatever device I choose.
I currently use my Android phone to play music and make phone calls through a Bluetooth-FM adapter in my car. I just got a Bluetooth-OBDII adapter (eBay, $20) and the Android Torque app (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.prowl.torquefree https://market.android.com/details?id=org.prowl.torquefree) which can show just about any operational parameter of the car - speed, fuel pressure, coolant temp, trouble codes, etc. There are only a few things I can't do through the Android - control the temperature and turn on the headlights. That and having a good place to mount the Android is the only thing missing now.
