Westwell and Azentek announced the the world's first fully integrated in-car PCs, the Azentek CPC-1200 and CPC-1100 in-dash car computer systems, in Australia. The PCs act as high-end car stereos, and also offer GPS navigation, mobile phone integration via Bluetooth, multimedia playback and automobile diagnostics.

The CPC-1200 is a complete Microsoft Vista-based PC with a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo T2300 processor and 1GB of RAM. It plays DVDs, music and Internet radio, offers GPS functionality with a touch screen, can make and receive mobile calls, and offers voice-enabled e-mail—all in one 2-DIN unit with a 6.5-inch LCD TFT touch screen monitor. The CPC-1100 is even more compact, fitting in just 1-DIN, but leaves out the CD drive; instead, it uses a 7-inch motorized LCD TFT touch screen. Look for both units in December in Australia; pricing TBD.
