tablet for head console???

I don't have room under my seats since I have them dropped all the way down for driving anyway, but if you use the right form factor, you can put it under the dash. I was going to mount mine above the glove box with access from inside the box top.

The 7" tablet just fits perfect. I just haven't settled on one yet. The Kindle Fire is a strong contender, but a quad core is in the works. Whatever it is, it will be rooted and wiped clean first.

you wanna make sure you can read the screen when sun in shining on it. At home you can move it and rotate it so you can see under almost all conditions. In your car thats usually not possible.

I read in some Linux car PC project that you want to lok for a "transflective " screen so you can read in the sun. But I have found only extremely expensive versions of like $700 and up...

any ideas on that?

Given it's not as good as buying a screen built for sunlight, but there are screen protectors that help reduce the glare. Plus, if you have tinted windows it will GREATLY help reduce the glare.
