With the touch screen - 640x480 or 800x600 (Desktop icons). I obviously
don't "surf the web" while driving (let alone talk on the cell), but it's a
nice system and does actually quite a bit.

How are you accessing it while driving, since it's obviously serving as your
entertainment system. All of the interfaces that I've seen so far have an
app that loads a seperate window manager that's geared towards safe
operation while moving (IE: large buttons and the like).
