In dash computer

Does anyone have info on the in dash computer option?

I am constantly on the road, having to stop to power up/down my laptop. Wondering if its worth it.

Is it possible (dealer option?) to add it to a used 09-10?

I looked at this. As for operation, I haven't had a chance to check it out in person. It doesn't seem to be a very popular option and I haven't seen a dealer stock truck with one yet or came across someone that has ordered it. The thing I don't like about it is that you have to get a data plan from Sprint to have internet access. My experience with Sprint (Nextel actually) was okay at best. They have good service where available but in my part of the country are almost nonexistent. If I'm not in one of the major metropolitan areas then I had no service at all. I do too much traveling to have spotty reception like that. The data plan also adds around $50 bucks a month to my already inflated cell phone bill. I think the concept is great. I just wish they would open it up to other providers that Sprint.
