Toshiba HD DVD for your Car

Toshiba Car HD DVD
HD DVD in your car probably isnt something you really think about too much due to the size of the small screen. Toshiba Matsushita Display or TMD is working on a prototype of this though along side Alpine. They are expecting a commercial product to be available in 2008. As well as being capable of playing HD DVDs the in car player will also feature a new touch sensitive screen allowing you to control the device from the screen. This touch screen does not have a touch sensitive surface over the top. They are opting for a different version which can track where your finger is without the film.

Having 1080p in your car doesnt make too much sense to me yet, although maybe the small 7 ish inch screen could cram enough pixels in to it to make the image quality look good. Lets see how it looks when the later prototypes are revealed.
