I feel like I'm going to get slammed for asking this... but:

Could there be a "HiJack Lite" in the future that has all of the networking and advanced features stripped out? It would just have in-car stuff like VolAdjust, Bass/Treble, Screen Blank, etc. Maybe "HiJack Car" and "HiJack LAN"?

I know it would add too much to the workload, but I was thinking of the age old empeg question "To you, is the empeg an in-car Linux computer that just happens to play mp3's or is it an in-car mp3 player that just so happens to run on Linux?" Likewise, some people never connect their empeg to a computer except to upload tunes while others will never have their empeg in a car... Feature creep might bump heads with cache creep and database size creep too!

I'm not asking you to do this, I'm just tossing it out there as a "what if".
