Something either car-mounted, or belt-mounted.

What I'd like to see is one that boots up and loads everything over wlan 
(say, when I start my truck in the garage) and runs from RAM all day.  
It can be bumped and crashed around with no problem.  Should play MP3's, 
etc - basically a pretty complete system.  I've been playing a little 
with the rclinux file in the initrd image, and there is a possibility to 
really make this work.  The rclinux file from the knoppix cd is very 
interesting....
