why not re-invent the empeg? it is possible to get in-dash pc cabinet's.. what is left is to gather software or write it from scratch...


Ha! I wish I had a pound for every time that's been said on this forum. As great as the empeg is, it was a once in a lifetime thing, like Concorde and the British Rail APT.

Personally I'm eyeing the Parrot RK8200 and an iPod as a replacement for my empeg which appears to have suffered a show-stopping failure of its IDE bus and ethernet controller. Listening to the radio and my N95 in the car at the moment.


I agree this project was a once in a lifetime thing. Sad but I'm glad it actually happened and that 4,000 players were produced.

I'm just saying if it were reinvented today with very slight changes and better advertising then I think it would do much better sales. Just my opinion.

To me most people would buy a more extravagant fancy MP3 player for their car. One that has a screen for nice visuals and looks/features. Then a much cheaper more portable small mp3 player for the gym, walking, etc.
