Installing a full-fledged multimedia PC inside a car is still a bit of a challenge, but the urge to be surrounded by music that you thought was cool in high school dictates that companies will keep trying until they get it right. Enter the UREN V1 from PMPINSIDE, an ultra mobile PC that's designed for cars. Sitting atop a 30GB hard drive, the UREN also includes a DMB TV tuner (useless in the U.S.!), a 3-megapixel camera, GPS and a memory card slot. All that crazy info is displayed on its 7-inch, 800x600 screen.
Right now, the Uren is Korea-only and unless the planets allign, it'll probably stay that way.

I wonder if they hired Retarded Consulting Inc. to name their company and product?
PMPINSIDE - Pimp inside
UREN - Urine
"Yeah dawg, I gots the Lexani wheels, velour headliner, pimpinside urine computer..."
Damn, you beat me to the punch on that one. That is one crazy stupid name for a PMP... Course, Uren probably means 'golden stream of glory' in Korean.... ;-)
Speaking of music I thought was cool in high school, isn't "Golden Stream of Glory" a track by OMD?
Sorry... Why would someone want this exactly?
With a name like UREN this stinks of farceness.
What is the point of of a camera if this thing is to be mounted? HMMMMMMMMMM?!
Don't say 'camera' and 'mounted' around here. Jason Chen is easily-excitable.
Who needs UREN when you can just put your UMPC in your car?
(pardon me for pimping my own projects.)
