Japan's Clarion has taken the wraps off a new in-car computer at World PC Expo in Tokyo this week and said it plans to put the device on domestic sale in December. The computer, which is based on Microsoft's Windows CE for Automotive operating system, is one of the most feature packed in-car electronics systems yet seen in Japan--a country where dashboard navigation, television, and DVD Video functions can be found in many cars. Clarion's Cadias, the company says it stands for Car Digital Assistant, offers all of these functions and other basic systems such as an AM/FM radio, a CD player, MP3 and WMA digital audio players, and adds communications options into the mix.
