I realize this may sound like it is coming from out in left field but I was wondering. If the Empeg Mk2 has an ethernet attachment for use in the home, couldn't it also be used in the car? It would seem to me that just as useful as a GPS would be the ability to pull in information in a predefined format while mobile.

Example: Some type of wireless access device connected to the ethernet port of the player while in the car. If this were in place and enabled the player could be theoretically setup to pull down information from a configurable location at preset intervals. i.e. Traffic information, new emails, etc.) In order to keep from getting too distracted from trying to read the display while driving perhaps a light text to speech engine could be employed to simply read the information to you through the system.

I know this may sound far fetched but I thought it might be just as plausible as the GPS project already underway.

Has anyone looked at anything like this already???
