That being the case an ipad is not up to the task, so perhaps a windows os tablet or android with those features and peripheral ports is what im thinking.

Form factor will be important, and for either project we need to find someone with a plastic printer (reprap) to print a bezel for the space around the unit.
The mini does have gps, music, navigation, an accelerometer, wifi, and I think an obd II reading capability? But it definitely won't be removable. I'm sure you can find some android tablets that will work and be removable. E really just need to be a quarter of an inch smaller. I suppose with a plastic printer the range of tablets you can use does grow. Excited to see if you find a way to pull it off.

As for the ipad mini installation, I'm not really gonna get to do anything else until next weekend. I'll probably sand and spray the trim throughout the week, but until the new mini comes out, I don't see a point in buying one just to have its price reduced by nearly $100 a week later.
