Hmm OK then, well I reckon it would probably work then, the only problem is that I can't run both TV Out and a USB input at the same time.

What a shame it was almost all sorted.

I just tried using a mouse with my Nexus, a little mouse curser shows up on the screen and everything works well.

Another possible solution.

Hopefully it is upgraded to ICS on release.

Check out this

I would be all over it if it ran Android 4.0 ICS.

exactly the same as the erisin units... i posted a link to the erisin product range a few posts back. reviews are not the best.. android is slow. and you select it for use. media and all other duties such as radio are done by the unit itself. android is part of the scree. removable tablet.

well. i just managed to run Android 4 ice cream sandwich as a virtual pc on windows 7 ultimate, for a car pc i am currently building. looks nice, works well. just hell slow! but i am running it as a live cd virtual machine.

mini itx mothrboard isnt a slouch either. atom d2700 2.13ghz dual core with hyper threading and 4gb 1066mhz ddr3 ram. 40 gb ssd for OS. 7.1 channel surround with speaker/ room correction distance/ delay correction software, (perfect for gettin rid of 'late' bass when running subs in the boot)

very pleased with this current motherboard :-) fast, silent (no fan) and complete solid capacitor design. reliable.

I just tried out ICS in a virtual machine, it works, was quick enough but was still a bit buggy.

I assume you used the .iso on the Android-x86 website?

using a virtual machine setup does make the whole experience buggy, i burnt the .iso as an image to usb, then rebooted and changed the boot order to usb uefi first. save and exit, on reboot it then reads the usb and gives me the option to run it live, or install to hard disc. i installed it to hard disk without formatting the partition.

once through that i created a fake SD card using the usb stick. im just doing that now so hopefully without the usb in. it will boot to windows as per normal and front end etc. only booting android when the usb is in.

ive just removed android 4.0.3 as it didnt pick up my usb wifi stick. i used the eepc build version

just installed android 3.2 stable and it's much faster and all options ive come across so far work flawlessly, now to obtain a sim card reader to make and receive calls :-)

wifi usb also works :-)

Sounds good, any luck with GPS? I also wondered about multi touch, but I don't think any features of the Android system require it, more of an optional thing to allow pinch to zoom. Can you zoom ina nd out of Google maps without it?

no i havent. figured there's no need as windows provides the driver support for anything and most aftermarket ECU companies tend to use software on windows platforms.
