As a project just for fun, I'm thinking of turning a 7" android tablet into a HU.
I've been mulling that idea over in my head for a while.. I'd have to root my cell phone and then tether it.. Or buy another phone line for the tablet I guess.

My concern is with the sound quality of anything sent through the HU. I think I'd rather use the tablet as a second screen for GPS/Apps, and then try to route as much audio as possible through the head unit.

I picked up one of those famous HP Touchpads for $150 when they went clearance. I'm going to install Android on it one of these days. If google maps runs as well on that as it does on my EVO cell phone.. that would be phenominal!!!
