Great thoughts NetfreakBombay!!! Liked the video trip recorder especially...I was planning to do that using the CarPC but never got to install it.

GPS Trails: Currently I do that with GPSed application on my mobile. Has a live tracking feature as well.

Installing Linux is just for fun. Its quite usable as a Win CE device.

OTOH, from the looks of it Win CE and other Software on this device are pirated. Company that makes these things does not "look" too much like a organized setup.

Communicating with them to figure out if they can sell something with Linux.

Yes bro. I know Linux is more usable then Win CE , In case you are interested to know Phones like Moto Roker and Razer V8 are Linux based and so is Android.

But the question I asked was from point of view of how to port Linux on this device and not if Linux should be ported or not

For ARM based processor you can use GCC ARM and may be scratchbox but there are too many things to do for porting basic hardware ( apart from processor core) and one need to know the hw details.
