	Here is a cute one!

	http://www.empeg.com/

	It's a car radio which supports MP3.  It runs Linux!  It's even
got Tux on the fluorescent display panel!  Got an irDa port (no software
yet) and USB.  Expected to ship in March.  Not cheap though...  Expected
to be just a tad under $1000...

	Too bad their PC software (for uploading music and updating
software) is Windows.

	They say that they will be providing some downloader software
for Linux (no GUI) when it ships and they are talking about supporting
Macs.  They also say that they will publish their spec for others to do UI's
