If SonicBlue can somehow manage to kick the booty of Apple iPod, then people might start asking whether they can make a car pull-out version of the Rio portable. That would be entertaining.

Another not-entirely-unreasonable idea would be for car manufacturers to standardize on some wireless variant of the patch cord between your portable MP3 player and the in-dash stereo -- maybe Bluetooth, maybe something else. If that standard ever came about, then you wouldn't have to hack up the dashboard of your car to remove your manufacturer's proprietary-sized stereo system and could instead just have your portable converse with your in-dash stereo.

Heaven knows, maybe a company with the clout of SonicBlue could push such a standard across the industry...
