Skype in your car: part 2 - the fully internet-enabled car!

By My status Stephen Pinches on May 25, 2007 in Accessories, Skype hardware tips.

OK so we ran a kind of funny story about two guys (Cindy and Jason) who had Skyped up their car a week or so ago, and made some calls whilst on the move using Skype on a laptop with a webcam back to their mate Jeremy. Pretty cool, I thought, those guys have gone the extra Skype mile.

Step in Bristol-based In-Car PC Ltd., whose website I stumbled upon today, who will, for a fee, completely Skype up your car from top to bottom. As you can see from the shot above, there's no mucking about here: once these boys get to work, your motor will have more TFTs in it than a fully stocked branch of Circuit City.

Not only can your car be set up with a full PC rig and internet connectivity, but it can also have any of the following:

  • Satellite navigation system
  • Mobile phone hands-free kit
  • mp3 player
  • DVD & video file (e.g. DivX) player
  • CD player
  • TV
  • Even a printer/scanner in the boot!

Prices apparently start at around £1,499, so for the serious road warrior, this could be just the ticket. Just remember to lock up when you go to the Little Chef, and not to surf while driving...

All we need now is the first "Skype certified" car, using only the best fully Skype certified components. A Skype/Mercedes collaboration, anyone...?!
