Re: start script via bash = huge CPU drain

What happens if you disable dash and reboot?

There is no way for them to announce upcoming products without hurting sales of the current gen.

Re: Laptop screen with rpi?

You might want to check out the Motorola lapdock. It's a dock for their Atrix phone, but one of the ports is a mini hdmi input. More importantly, they are on sale as the phone is getting replaced my newer models. Originally ~$300-400, you can now get them for $50-$60 if you are lucky. With some slig...

And no preorders etc?

Re: tablet kit?

Short answer, no.

Long answer not in any practical way. You could, but you wouldn't like the result.

Get a super cheap tablet, and It'd probably be a lot better and cheaper than any kind of touchscreen with hdmi.

Re: car pc

I'm considering using my smartphone as front end, running MPD server on the Rpi, and wifi or Bluetooth to connect with an MPD client. Super simple for an audio only system. The bonus is no screen to tempt thieves.
